The Health Department has signed new agreements under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model to extend MRI and CT scan services to additional districts in Haryana. MRI services will soon be introduced at District Civil Hospitals in Kurukshetra and Panipat, while CT scan services are set to begin at the District Civil Hospital in Charkhi Dadri and Sub-District Hospital in Bahadurgarh.
Partnership agreements have been signed with M/s Navneet Saxena, M/s Satyakiran, and M/s HealthMap, and services are expected to commence within three months.
“This is just the beginning,” said Health Minister Arti Singh Rao. “The government is committed to expanding these diagnostic facilities across all districts in a phased manner to ensure quality healthcare access for every citizen.”
The CT scan services, initially launched in 2015 in four districts, have since expanded to 17 districts. Similarly, MRI services, also introduced in 2015, are currently available in five districts, with plans to scale up coverage across the state.
Under the PPP scheme:
Services are free for BPL families, Scheduled Castes, Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), pensioners, people living with HIV (PLHIV), roadside accident victims, and government employees and their dependents.
Others are charged at 50–60% lower rates compared to private diagnostic centers.
Additionally, dialysis services are now free for all patients and are operational in all 22 districts, benefiting over 3,000 end-stage kidney disease patients and supporting 1.8 lakh dialysis sessions annually.
The government has also introduced advanced cardiac cath lab services in four district civil hospitals, which are typically priced between ₹1.5–2 lakh in private facilities. These services are free for BPL, SC/ST communities, and government staff, and available at 60–70% lower costs for others.
