Centre-State coordination must for success of Ayushman Bharat: UP Health minister

Lucknow: The success of Ayushman Bharat scheme depends largely on coordination between the Centre and state governments, UP health minister Sidharth Nath Singh said today.
Noting that the adoption of Ayushman Bharat was a giant step towards the global Universal Health Coverage agenda, Singh described it as "a great milestone in the healthcare history of the country".
The Ayushman Bharat-National Health Protection Mission (ABNHPM) is expected to offer a coverage of Rs 5 lakh to 10 crore of Indias poorest families.
"..this scheme is a highly aspirational scheme and thus the onus of success depends largely upon Central and state government coordination, commitment of insurance companies and effective, efficient and corruption-free healthcare provision both from public and private sector hospitals," he said.
Singh was speaking at the Ayushman Bharat Healthcare Summit organised by India Virtual Hospital and Business World in the national capital.
