‘Recovered, returning home’: Ayushman portal’s message reaches family 42 days after Chhattisgarh constable’s death

A Chhattisgarh police constable's family received a recovery message after his death. The message indicated a 42-day hospital stay, which was incorrect. Hospital authorities blamed a data entry operator for the embarrassing lapse. They denied any misuse of the deceased's Ayushman card for extended treatment. The hospital now seeks verification for all automated patient status messages.
