Women Beneficiaries Of Ayushman Bharat To Get Cashless Treatment Up To Rs 10L: Odisha Minister

Bhubaneswar: Women beneficiaries of the Ayushman Bharat scheme will be entitled to cashless treatment up to Rs 10 lakh.

This was stated by Health and Family Welfare Minister Mukesh Mahaling. Male members of a household will be covered for Rs five lakh under the health assurance scheme, he said.

Set be launched in Odisha in February, the Ayushman-Bharat scheme will enable the beneficiaries to avail cashless treatment at 30,000 hospitals across the country, Mahaling said.

The Minister further stated based on the e-KYC data, the Ayushman-Bharat card will be provided to around 3.5 crore people of the State. Emphasis is being given to make sure that no one from the economically weaker section be deprived of the card.

The Central team has already visited the State for implementation of the health assurance scheme.

The Minister stated the health sector in Odisha will witness a revolution in 2025 with establishment of new medical colleges and launch of the Digital Health Mission.

Beneficiaries of the Odisha Government-sponsored Gopabandhu Jana Arogya Yojana will continue to avail the health benefits, without much to worry about, Mahaling said.
