The training is focused on equipping staff to generate the golden cards for beneficiaries and handle the pre-authorisation process for medical treatments. This marks the start of a detailed preparation process to ensure a smooth and efficient implementation of the scheme.

The Delhi government has set in motion a comprehensive training initiative, with master trainers being prepared first. These trainers will then go on to instruct 6,000 other staff members, who will be directly involved in generating cards and managing medical claims under the scheme. Back-end staff are also undergoing specialised training to manage the essential task of pre-authorising medical procedures, ensuring that treatments are approved before they begin.
