00:18What has changed? How will you benefit? Let's find out in this video.
00:22Ayushman Bharati Yojana is a scheme that provides free treatment to people.
00:26After applying for this health scheme run by the government, it becomes an Ayushman card.
00:32And after that, up to 5 lakh rupees can be treated for free through it.
00:36The government gives you so much coverage every year and also takes full expense of it.
00:41On Wednesday, a big change was made in this government scheme.
00:44And in the Cabinet meeting, it was decided to include all senior citizens over the age of 70 in the Ayushman Yojana.
00:51Looking at the government figures, the number of Ayushman cards made under the Ayushman Bharati Yojana is increasing rapidly.
00:58And by June 30, 2024, their figure has exceeded 34.7 crore.
01:04So far, 7.37 crore people worth 1 lakh crore have been approved to be admitted to the hospital.
