Hon’ble MP (Lok Sabha) Dr. Angomcha Bimol Akoijam has appealed to the Association of Healthcare Providers (India) – Manipur Chapter to continue offering cashless treatment under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) and Chief Ministergi Hakshelgi Tengbang (CMHT) schemes.

In a letter addressed to Dr. Palin Khundongbam, President of AHPI–Manipur Chapter, Dr. Akoijam acknowledged the financial difficulties faced by private hospitals due to pending reimbursements.
