THE State government has announced plans to transition the NTR Vaidya Seva scheme from a trust-based system to an insurance model, aiming to improve service quality and accessibility. Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu approved the proposal during a review meeting of the health department at his residence in Undavalli on Saturday.
Under the new insurance model, both public and private insurers will be leveraged to provide health coverage of up to ₹25 lakh per family annually, benefiting approximately 4.30 crore residents across the State.
To streamline healthcare delivery, the government is also consolidating the 104 and 108 emergency services under a single operator. The 108 service, which currently operates a fleet of 190 ambulances—many of which have exceeded their operational lifespan—will see its vehicles replaced at an estimated cost of ₹60 crore. These changes aim to ensure timely and effective emergency medical response.
