PM Modi said that before the Ayushman Bharat scheme was launched people did not get treated for cancer fearing financial burden on their children.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that the Centre's Ayushman Bharat scheme is not only giving free treatment to the citizens, but it is also helping in the early detection of cancer.
A huge number of cancer patients have benefited from the scheme, said PM Modi after inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of cancer hospitals across Assam.
He said that before the scheme was launched people did not get treated for cancer fearing financial burden on their children.
Ayushman Bharat is National Health Protection Scheme, which covers over 10 crore poor and vulnerable families providing coverage up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization.
