It will be the world’s largest government-funded healthcare programme.

The Health Minister said that the state’s people have started getting benefits under this scheme. So far, 35 persons have claimed aid under this scheme and 18 of them have already received the money, he claimed.

Similarly, 126 persons have been admitted to hospitals and 4,556 included in ‘Golden Record’ after their examination.

Vij also said that ‘Ayurveda Mitras’ are being deputed in state hospitals for assisting patients.

Besides, 22 District Nodal Officers and 22 District IT Managers have also been engaged for the scheme’s implementation.
