PM: First Year Of Jan Arogya Yojana, A Year Of Learning

Hospital doors should remain open for every Indian facing a difficult time, says Modi

On the first anniversary of the government’s cashless health insurance scheme, Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), Prime Minister Narendra Modi said it had been a year of learning.

“That we are running it with success is the dedication of States, private and public hospitals. Even if someone’s land, jewellery, or savings have been saved from being pawned in the process, it is a big victory for the scheme,” said Modi addressing beneficiaries from across India,

He said that over the past two days, various States had shared best practices ranging from quality to capacity building in achieving universal healthcare and that those experiences should be emulated.
