Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday launched the new co-branded Ayushman Bharat health cards renamed as Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) - Chief Minister’s Arogya Karnataka in Belagavi.
The new health cards co-branded with the Centre and the State logos will have national portability. Beneficiaries covered under the health scheme can now also avail themselves of treatment in other States where the AB-PMJAY is adopted.
The new cards will also be linked with the National Health ID - Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) Identity number. This will help in preserving the medical records of beneficiaries and providing easy and effective treatment in other States too.
