|February 14, 2025
PEOPLE of Delhi will soon be able to avail the services of the central government's ambitious Ayushman Bharat- Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), considered to be the largest insurance scheme in the world.
"We will bring the PM-JAY scheme to Delhi as soon as possible," Union Health Minister JP Nadda told this newspaper when asked when the Central government is planning to implement the scheme.
The only state where the scheme, which provides ₹5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation to 55 crore individuals corresponding to 12.34 crore families, is not implemented is now West Bengal. The scope of the PMJAY scheme has also been expanded and now includes senior citizens aged 70 years and above.
Nadda said the new government after formation will send a formal request to the Centre on implementing the PM-JAY scheme.
