Saffron MPs Seek Implementation of Ayushman Bharat

Bhubaneswar (Reporters Today Bureau): Saffron party MPs from Odisha sought personal intervention of Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya for implementation of Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) in Odisha.

A delegation of the BJP MPs led by Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan met Mandaviya in New Delhi and submitted a memorandum in this regard.

“It greatly pains us to inform that even after 3 years since the launch of the AB-PMJAY scheme, Odisha remains one of the few states where the government has not implemented Ayushman Bharat thereby depriving almost 60 lakh needy beneficiaries from availing this pro-poor healthcare services,” the MPs said in the memorandum.
