Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav extended greetings on Ayushman Bharat Day, highlighting the impact of the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana in expanding healthcare access.
Mohan Yadav: World’s largest health protection scheme
Praising the initiative led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister said that PM-JAY has emerged as the world’s largest health security scheme, providing financial protection to millions of vulnerable families.
Focus on ‘Antyodaya’ vision
Mohan Yadav emphasized that the scheme reflects the principle of “Antyodaya” — reaching the last person in the queue — by ensuring that economically weaker sections receive timely and affordable medical treatment.
Strengthening healthcare access
The scheme provides cashless treatment for a wide range of medical conditions at empanelled hospitals, significantly reducing the burden of healthcare expenses on poor and middle-class families.
Transforming public health landscape
Officials note that PM-JAY has contributed to improving healthcare infrastructure, increasing hospital participation, and promoting early treatment, thereby strengthening the overall public health system.
Support for vulnerable families
The initiative has been particularly beneficial for families facing critical illnesses, enabling them to access quality treatment without financial distress.
The message by Mohan Yadav underscores Madhya Pradesh’s support for the continued implementation of Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana and its role in achieving universal health coverage.
