Rajeshwar Prasad Mishra, a resident of Lodhidi, Prayagraj, alleged that Yash Hospital charged him 28,400 rupees for an Ayushman Bharat card procedure without performing the necessary hydrocele operation. ^[1] The National Family Health Survey-6 (NFHS-6) factsheets, released in August 2026, reported that the proportion of Indians aged 60 or older reached 12.9%, up from 11.8% in the earlier NFHS-5 survey. ^[2] The complainant stated that a hernia operation was performed, but the hydrocele operation was not conducted as claimed. ^[3] The discharge summary from Yash Hospital listed both the hernia and hydrocele treatments, which Mishra claims was fraudulent billing. ^[4] According to the NFHS-6 data, Kerala, India's oldest state, had 20.7% of its population aged 60 and over, followed by Goa at 17.2%, Himachal Pradesh at 16.4%, and Tamil Nadu at 16.3%. ^[5] NFHS interviews only women up to age 49 and men up to 54; people older than that are counted in the household roster but never asked about tobacco use, alcohol use, treatment, or care-seeking. ^[6] The NFHS-6 records hypertension and high blood sugar for all adults aged 15 and over, which means an 85-year-old and a 25-year-old are grouped together, making it impossible to measure disease prevalence specifically among the elderly. ^[7] Mishra was admitted to Yash Hospital on August 28, 2025, following advice from Dr. E. Sakshena. ^[8]
