One of our fundamental needs and rights is timely and smooth access to premium healthcare services at fully-equipped and modernised hospitals. And this is usually easier when one invests in health insurance policies. However, investing in health insurance policies is very difficult for individuals and families who come from economically disadvantaged sections of society.
To resolve this financial constraint and provide people with their basic right to access premium healthcare services irrespective of their economic backgrounds, the central and state governments have introduced several health insurance schemes and one of those is the infamous Ayushman Bharat Yojana.
In the recent state elections of Delhi, the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) won with the maximum votes and one of their early decisions was to implement the Ayushman Bharat Yojana. The health insurance scheme has proven itself to be one of the most result-yielding schemes.
