The Ayushman Bharat Yojna, popularly known as Pradhan Mantri Jan Sangh Aarogya Yojna, is a noble initiative that caters for providing necessary medical services to the less powerful economic sections of the country. The scheme allows a certain class of citizens to avail of these services, where they get an annual coverage of INR 5,00,000 to undergo any medical treatment which is necessary for them to undertake. The government has also introduced a unique identification card called the Ayushman Card that can be carried to store and share any patient's medical records instantly.
The next initiative in line is to introduce a completely cashless system for more than 50 Crore patients experiencing the benefits of this scheme. Adding to that, the initiative already encompasses a list of around 1,400 free procedures, with more and more procedures getting added with time. These procedures are performed across verticals with 24 areas of specialisation to pinpoint and eliminate the disease.
