The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has congratulated the people of Odisha on the MoU signing between the National Health Authority, Government of India, and the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Odisha, for the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana. Modi remarked that this scheme will ensure the highest-quality healthcare at affordable rates, particularly the Nari Shakti and the elderly of Odisha.
Replying to a post on X by Chief Minister of Odisha, Mohan Charan Majhi, the Prime Minister posted: “Congratulations to the people of Odisha! It was indeed a travesty that my sisters and brothers of Odisha were denied the benefits of Ayushman Bharat by the previous Government. This scheme will ensure the highest-quality healthcare at affordable rates. It will particularly benefit the Nari Shakti and the elderly of Odisha.”
Mohan Charan Majhi, Chief Minister, Odisha mentioned, “It is an honour for me to attend, on behalf of the people of Odisha, the MoU signing ceremony between the National Health Authority, Government of India, and the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Odisha, for the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, alongside Health and Family Welfare Minister JP Nadda and other distinguished officials.”
Majhi further mentioned, “In Odisha, beneficiaries will have access to cashless treatment at over 30,000 government and private hospitals across the country. Nearly three crore individuals from 1.3 crore families are set to benefit from this initiative. Ayushman Bharat Mandirs will be established in every Panchayat of Odisha to deliver healthcare services to rural areas. An instructor will be present at each Mandir, and we will also provide additional facilities and services alongside healthcare workers. The Government of Odisha remains committed to transforming the healthcare sector through various initiatives, paving the way toward a “Viksit Odisha” by 2036 and a “Viksit Bharat” by 2047.”
