The Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana has resulted in huge out-of-pocket expenditure savings related to hospitalisations for the targeted beneficiaries, Minister of State for Health S. P. Singh Baghel told the Rajya Sabha on July 25.
“A total of 3.14 crore beneficiaries were benefited during the last two years under the Centre’s ambitious health insurance scheme,” he said.
The States/UTs having maximum- and minimum number of beneficiary families supported by the Centre and the State are Uttar Pradesh and Lakshadweep, respectively, Mr. Baghel said in a written reply.
