I am glad to see that everyday lakhs of new beneficiaries are added under Aapke Dwar Ayushman initiative. Encouraged from progress we have set a target to take the number of identified beneficiaries to atleast 20 crs in next financial year. For this, strong IEC activities are being performed in the States to motivate beneficiaries. This will be a true tribute to the vision of Ayushman Bharat.""The idea for creating Ayushman cards is to ease the delivery of services for our beneficiaries. The beneficiary should not be subjected to any difficulty while visiting a medical facility for treatment. Ayushmancard enables identity verification thereby empowering the user to claim her right to free healthcare services. I believe Ayushman card will act as a great tool in the hand of the beneficiary," he added.In 2021, as many as 2,14,51,428 beneficiary verification records had been created till March 23.Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) is the flagship health protection scheme of the Government of India that provides a cover of up to Rs 5 lakhs per family per year, for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization to over 10.74 crore poor and vulnerable families (about 53 crore beneficiaries).( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
