Health activists are raising strong objections to the state government’s move to outsource diagnostic tests under a PPP-based “hub and spoke” model.
They argue that similar models in the past have failed to deliver affordable, reliable healthcare and instead weakened public services.
Activists emphasize that the focus should be on strengthening public hospitals, labs, and infrastructure rather than relying on private players.
According to them, investing in robust public health facilities is the only way to ensure equitable, transparent, and accessible healthcare for all citizens.
