Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Prataprao Jadhav today said that Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) has facilitated cashless treatment worth over 1,90,000 crore rupees across the country, making it the world’s largest health assurance scheme. The Minister said this while addressing a two-day National Review Meeting on the implementation of AB PM-JAY and the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) in New Delhi. Mr Jadhav said that ABDM has laid the digital foundation for a future-ready healthcare system, with over 94 crore ABHA numbers created and more than 100 crore health records linked. He emphasised that ABDM 2.0 should be measured by the everyday difference it makes through seamless access to health records across States, easier discovery of nearby health facilities and deeper integration with AB PM-JAY, demonstrating the transformative potential of Digital India in healthcare. Mr Jadhav urged all States and Union Territories to strengthen coordination in the implementation of these schemes, while continuing to place the poorest and most vulnerable citizens at the centre of all healthcare interventions.
