PM-JAY: Here we are talking about Umrav village of Nandod taluk of Narmada district… Here in Navinagari Palia, Uttariben Vasava lives in a joint family of 8 members. One day suddenly Uttariben had trouble breathing and her son took her to a hospital in Ankleshwar. Where heart disease was detected. Now due to poor financial condition, it was not possible for the family to get the operation done. At that time Vasava got free treatment of more than Rs 6.60 lakh through Ayushman card.
In Narmada district, treatment assistance of Rs 15.16 crore is given in government hospitals in the year 2023-24. Under this scheme, beneficiaries are given health cover of up to Rs 10 lakh per year. The beneficiary said that my mother has got a new life from the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana.
Suryakant Vasava, son of a beneficiary of Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), said, “My mother was having repeated heart attacks, we took her to Kasturba Hospital in Wangkaria, got some treatment there and then told us you should go to Ankleshwar, if you go to Ankleshwar you will live.” Did you ask if you have a card? When we showed the Ayushman card, I was convinced that I had a heart operation. They did it for free, the total cost is 6 lakh to 60 thousand. Thus, PM-JAY scheme has become a support for families who are not financially capable. Under this scheme, health cover of up to Rs 10 lakh per year is provided to the needy beneficiaries.
