The Statesman

|

November 19, 2024

Within three weeks of the Ayushman Vay Vandana Card scheme being rolled out by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, more than ten lakh senior citizens aged 70 and above have already enrolled for it, enabling them to access free healthcare benefits under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (ABPM-JAY).

Significantly, around four lakh enrollments under the card are by females. Since the launch of the Ayushman Vay Vandana Card, treatments worth over Rs nine crore have been authorised, benefiting more than 4,800 senior citizens aged 70 and above, including over 1,400 women. These treatments cover a range of conditions, including coronary angioplasty, hip fractures/replacement, gallbladder removal, cataract surgery, prostate resection, and stroke, among others.
