Besides this, PM Modi highlighted other healthcare schemes and wrote, “Other efforts like PM Bharatiya Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana have made medicines affordable. The prices of stents and knee implants have become affordable and this has helped many people.”
He stated that medical education has become more accessible to people, since there are more institutions and seats being made available.
“We will keep building on this ground covered so far in order to build a healthy India,” he said.
Notably, the flagship Ayushman Bharat scheme was introduced by the central government in 2018.
The ‘MyGov India’, a flagship citizen engagement platform, said that healthcare accessibility is one of the most important investments a nation can make. “Over the past 12 years, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India has made significant strides to ensure quality healthcare reaches more people, more efficiently, and more affordably. The healthcare ecosystem today is more accessible, resilient, and future-ready for its citizens,” it noted.
