In a bid to accelerate the implementation of Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) in Delhi, the state government, along with National Health Authority (NHA), has started the process of training staff who will generate PMJAY cards and pre-authorise medical procedures.

This comes a day after the Delhi government had cleared decks for introducing the Centre's health insurance scheme in the national capital.

"We are currently working on training master trainers, who, in turn, will train around 5,000-6,000 field workers to handle card creation and backend processes such as claim processing and grievance redressal management," said an official in the know.
