Ayushman Bharat and Healthcare Access

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

Ayushman Bharat comprises the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) providing insurance coverage for secondary and tertiary hospitalization, plus HWCs (Health and Wellness Centres) for preventive care. It tackles catastrophic health expenses among vulnerable populations. Exams might probe coverage scope, funding challenges, fraud prevention, and synergy with state schemes. The broader question: how to ensure quality medical infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, to maximize the scheme’s impact on public health outcomes.
