India Strengthens Rural Healthcare with Upgraded Facilities and Expansive Insurance Coverage
India has taken significant steps toward improving healthcare services in rural areas. The National Health Mission (NHM) ensures technical and financial support for states, while new initiatives such as Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (AAM) focus on upgrading primary healthcare centers.
The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) continues to reduce healthcare expenses for rural families, providing ₹5 lakh per family per year in health insurance coverage. Furthermore, the PM-Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM) is investing ₹64,180 crores into health systems to strengthen them at all levels.
With improved facilities and policies, India is making quality healthcare accessible to millions in underserved regions.
What is a PMJAY?
PMJAY, or Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, is India’s largest government-backed health insurance scheme. It was launched to provide cashless and affordable healthcare to economically vulnerable families. Under PMJAY, eligible families receive coverage of up to ₹5 lakh per year for hospitalization expenses at empaneled hospitals across India.
How It Works:
Eligibility Check
Families are identified based on the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 date.
Ayushman Card
Beneficiaries receive an Ayushman Card, which allows them to avail free treatment.
Hospitalization
Treatment is cashless at government and private hospitals empaneled under the scheme.
Coverage
It includes secondary and tertiary care, covering surgeries, diagnostics, and medicines.
No Cap on Family Size
Unlike other schemes, PMJAY covers all members of an eligible family.
