<br/><br/> The Government of Bihar has adopted an innovative public–private partnership model to address the critical gaps in healthcare by collaborating with a reputed private hospital under a pre-existing contract. Through this arrangement, selected beneficiaries receive treatment at central government health scheme rates, with the state reimbursing the costs of critical illness treatment for below-poverty-line patients. While this initiative has improved access for some, its limited coverage raises concerns about equity, especially in a state where the majority of the population remains poor.- Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/36/commentary/cghs-rate-based-private-healthcare-services-bihar.html<br/>
