Ayushman Bharat Scheme to be Implemented in Odisha

Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has announced that the Ayushman Bharat scheme will soon be implemented across the state. Along with this, the existing Gopabandhu Jana Arogya Yojana will continue, offering medical benefits to citizens. This decision was shared by the state's health minister during a recent discussion on health department expenditure claims. 

Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, eligible beneficiaries can receive medical treatment at any of the 27,000 empanelled hospitals across the country. This provides a wide network of healthcare facilities, ensuring that people can access quality healthcare without financial stress. Ayushman Bharat, a flagship healthcare scheme of the Indian government, aims to provide health insurance coverage to millions of underprivileged families across the country. 

The Gopabandhu Jana Arogya Yojana has already been providing significant support to Odisha's citizens, ensuring that people have access to medical care within the state. With the addition of Ayushman Bharat, the people of Odisha will benefit from a broader range of healthcare services. 

The health minister highlighted that the state is committed to ensuring the well-being of its people by providing access to both central and state-sponsored healthcare schemes. By implementing Ayushman Bharat along with continuing Gopabandhu Jana Arogya Yojana, the government aims to create a more inclusive and accessible healthcare system for everyone. 

This dual approach is expected to enhance the reach of healthcare services in Odisha, offering people the flexibility to seek treatment at a larger number of hospitals across India. The government hopes that these efforts will significantly improve the health outcomes of Odisha's population, ensuring a healthier future for all. 

With the continued efforts of the health department, the people of Odisha can look forward to better healthcare facilities and support under these schemes. The focus remains on creating a robust healthcare system that can cater to the needs of all citizens, regardless of their financial status.
