Odisha to roll out Ayushman Bharat within 2 weeks: CM Majhi
Bhubaneswar: The Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana will be implemented in Odisha within the next two weeks, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi said on Tuesday.
Majhi made this announcement at a Odisha Dibasa function in Cuttack district.
Although the government had earlier planned to launch the scheme on April 1, along with Gopabandhu Jan Arogya Yojana, the date was shifted, though Majhi did not specify the reason for the delay, news agency PTI reported.
The CM claimed the health scheme would cover around 3.52 crore people across the state.
