Over 1.3 crore Ayushman-Chirayu cards issued in Haryana: govt

In a significant stride towards ensuring healthcare for all, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal has successfully implemented the Ayushman-Chirayu Haryana Yojana.

Through this scheme, nearly half of the state's population is now eligible for free medical treatment up to Rs. 5 lakh in both government and private hospitals.

The scheme has already issued over 1.03 crore Ayushman-Chirayu cards, encompassing 74, 33,548 Chirayu cards and 28, 89,000 Ayushman cards, bringing quality healthcare within their reach.

This visionary scheme, an extension of Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Jan Arogya Yojana, has become a beacon of health and hope for the people of the state. The Scheme, launched to bridge the healthcare gap, has reached new milestones, transforming the lives of the people of the state.

Approximately 8 lakh families with incomes ranging from Rs. 1.80 lakh to Rs. 3 lakh are now eligible for the scheme

Originally, the Ayushman Bharat scheme covered families with an annual income of Rs 1.20 lakh, based on the SECC-2011 data. Recognizing the need for inclusivity, the Manohar Lal-led Government expanded the scope through the Chirayu Haryana Yojana, raising the annual income limit to Rs. 1.80 lakh. Thereby, more than 28 lakh families in the state benefited from this expansion.
