PM Modi Inaugurate the distribution of PMJAY-MA Yojana Ayushman cards in Gujarat

Prime Minister Narendra Modi kickstarted the distribution of PMJAY-MA Yojana Ayushman cards in Gujarat via video conferencing on 17 October.

Prime Minister launched the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana in 2018 – the largest health insurance scheme in the world providing coverage of up to Rs. 5 lakh per family per year for primary, secondary and tertiary care

As the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, Prime Minister had started the ‘Mukhyamantri Amrutam (MA)’ scheme in 2012 to shield poor citizens from the catastrophic costs of medical treatment and illness. In the year 2014, ‘MA’ Yojana was extended to cover families with an annual income limit of Rs. 4 lakh.

Important Facts:

  • Under the Ayushman Bharat-PMJAY, the world’s largest health insurance scheme, health cover of up to Rs 5 lakh is provided per family, as per the government website.
  • After the announcement of the Ayushman Bharat-PMJAY in 2019, the Gujarat government integrated the Mukhyamantri Amrutam and Mukhyamantri Amrutam Vatsalya schemes with it, and beneficiaries of these three schemes were issued co-branded cards under the PMJAY-MA.
