New Delhi: Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri -Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) has crossed the milestone of 30 crore Ayushman cards on 12th January 2024.

The flagship scheme being implemented by the National Health Authority (NHA) aims to provide health cover of Rs. 5 lakhs per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization to 12 Crore beneficiary families.

Ayushman card creation is the most fundamental activity under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY and concerted efforts are being continuously made to ensure that every beneficiary under the scheme has Ayushman card. As a result of the persistent efforts, the scheme has reached the feat of 30 crore Ayushman cards created. More than 16.7 crore Ayushman cards have been created only during the last two financial years. As on date, during 2023-24, more than 7.5 crore Ayushman cards have been created. This implies that approximately 181 Ayushman cards are created every minute.

Ayushman card creation is included in on-spot services being offered during Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra launched on 15th November 2023 with the intent to ensure saturation of different schemes of the Government of India. This campaign has significantly helped expedite card creation at the grassroot level. More than 2.43 Cr Ayushman cards have been created during the Yatra. Further, more than 5.6 Cr Ayushman cards (launched on 17th Sep 2023) have been created during Ayushman Bhava campaign launched by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to achieve saturation of different health schemes.

The financial year-wise total Ayushman cards created are as follows:

In order to reach out to the last mile, NHA has launched ‘Ayushman App’ for Ayushman Card creation. The app has a unique feature of self-verification. In simple 4 steps, this feature enables users to create Ayushman Card using an android mobile phone. Further, any person can help beneficiaries to create Ayushman card. Thus, the Ayushman App enables Jan Bhagidari in its spirit. The success of this application can be measured from the fact that the app has been downloaded for more than 52 lakh times, since its launch on 13th September 2023.

With 4.83 crore Ayushman Cards, Uttar Pradesh tops the list of States with the highest number of Ayushman Cards created. Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra stand at number two and three positions with 3.78 crore and 2.39 crore Ayushman cards respectively. 11 States have more than 1 crore Ayushman cards holders. Top ten States with highest number of Ayushman cards are as below:

Further, as on date, approximately 14.6 crore Ayushman cards have been created for females. Scheme is striving to achieve gender parity along with regional parity and income parity in access to healthcare services with 49% Ayushman Cards issued to female beneficiaries. Also, 48% of treatment provided under the scheme has been availed by the female; thus, gender equity is part of core design of the scheme.

Today, Ayushman Card has become a symbol of equity, entitlement and empowerment. It gives an assurance to the poor and deprived family that they will be protected against the double-burden of disease and the debilitating impact of catastrophic expenditure incurred during treatment. Underscoring this fact, Government is making all efforts to ensure that all eligible beneficiaries possess Ayushman Card.

Further, Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY has successfully catered to 6.2 crore hospital admissions worth more than Rs. 79,157 crores. If the beneficiary would have availed the same treatment on their own outside the ambit of AB PM-JAY, the total cost of the treatment would have gone nearly 2 times higher, thus, saving more than 1.25 lakh crore out of pocket expenditure of poor and deprived families.
