Ayushman Bharat Yojana: It has been five years since the implementation of Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Yojana (PMABY). So far, about 10 crore people in the country have taken advantage of this scheme.
This scheme, which provides free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh, is very useful for poor people. Therefore, the government has prepared to make a big change in the scheme after 5 years.
In the coming time, there will be a complete change in the scope of Ayushman Yojana and its package system. Under this, it is believed that after a certain age, every person, whether rich or poor, will get its benefit.
What changes will be made in Ayushman Yojana
According to sources, more and more hospitals will now be included under Ayushman Yojana. Hospitals in small cities will also be included in it so that people can get treatment facilities quickly.
Apart from this, the package system of the scheme can also be improved. At present, free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh is available under this scheme, but its amount can be increased to Rs 7 to 10 lakh.
The process of bill payment will be easy
Apart from this, a new system will also be developed to pay hospital bills quickly under the scheme. After the report comes, it will be decided what kind of payment system should be developed, so that the bills can be settled easily. Apart from this, discussions are also going on on issues like increasing the scope of the scheme.
All people above 70 years of age will get benefit
The biggest change in the scheme is going to be for the elderly. It is believed that all people above 70 years of age will be brought under the purview of this scheme.
Its purpose is to provide free treatment to the elderly. In such a situation, there may be a provision to provide treatment not based on income but only based on age. This will also benefit the elderly of the middle class.
These changes in the Ayushman Bharat scheme are expected to benefit millions of people. This will improve health services in the country and the standard of living of the people will improve.
