Ayushman Bharat Scheme
New Delhi: The Delhi government is set to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Health Authority on March 18 to implement the Central government's flagship scheme, Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), according to official sources on Thursday.
With this, Delhi will become the 35th state/UT to implement the health insurance scheme.
West Bengal will remain the only state to not have adopted the scheme.
“The Mou will be signed on March 18 in the presence of Union Health Minister JP Nadda and five families will be given AB-PMJAY cards making them beneficiaries of the scheme,” the sources said, news agency PTI reported.
