Prime Minister Narendra Modi made headlines two weeks before Diwali by extending Ayushman Bharat Health Insurance Scheme coverage to individuals aged over 70 as part of its flagship Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana scheme, launched on Dhanvantari Day and 9th Ayurveda Day respectively.
Under this scheme, those holding an Ayushman Vaya Vanana card can access up to Rs 5 lakh in free medical treatment in any accredited AB PMJAY hospital.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi distributed Ayushman Vandana Cards during an event held at the All India Institute of Ayurveda in New Delhi last month, following which Ayushman-Bharat program for seniors aged over 70 was announced.
On August 10, Prime Minister @narendramodi launched the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana for all citizens aged 70 or above regardless of socio-economic standing and with access to affordable and accessible care - providing up to Rs 5 lakh free annually as free healthcare coverage; setting new standards of accessibility and inclusion among seniors."
Ayushman Vaya Vandana Card
All senior citizens over 70 years of age will gain access to the benefits of Ayushman Bharat Health Insurance Program's Ayushman Vandana card for seniors over 70, significantly reducing household costs and relieving worry.
According to PMJAY-UP (Ayushman Bharat Uttar Pradesh)'s X page: "On March 26, Honorable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi presented the inaugural #AyushmanVayVandanaCard to Panchanan Shukla from Deoria in Uttar Pradesh and all senior citizens over 70 will now receive coverage worth 5 Lakhs for health insurance."
Now, senior citizens aged 70 years or above will have access to free hospital care under the Ayushman Vaya Vandana Card program, marking a major step forward for these elderly members of society. According to a tweet by Public Information Bureau (PIB), having this card will decrease expenses and worry.
"PM Modi expressed his satisfaction at the expansion of Ayushman Yojana and expressed that all senior citizens aged 70+ years looked forward to it being introduced into Ayushman Yojana as part of his poll guarantee, should he win another term and bring them under its coverage. Shri Modi announced that all senior citizens aged 70 or above in India will now qualify for free hospital treatments through an Ayushman Vandana card, regardless of income status. He stressed the universal nature of this card. Shri Modi highlighted how this scheme will make waves worldwide and reduce out-of-pocket expenses for elderly individuals living at home significantly. He extended his congratulations and informed them it had yet to be implemented in Delhi or West Bengal.
