7 lakh treatments availed under central health insurance scheme
Under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY), the Central government’s health insurance scheme, approximately 20.32 lakh COVID-19 tests and 7.08 lakh treatments were authorised from April 2020 to July 2021. The total value of the tests and treatment stands at ₹2,794 crore, a senior official told The Hindu.
