Ayushman Bharat completes seven years as PM Modi hails it a people’s movementPrime Minister Narendra Modi said the Ayushman Bharat scheme has grown from a promise into a people’s movement for universal healthcare. “Ayushman Bharat at 7 – from a promise to a people’s movement for universal health coverage,” said the PMO India handle on social media platform X. The PMO also shared a media article by Union Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda reflecting on the transformation brought by Ayushman Bharat in the last seven years. Charting out the “tremendous progress” made by the Ayushman Bharat scheme, in his article, Nadda urged the need for bringing more private sector hospitals on board, especially in the underserved areas, “to improve access, stimulate competition and raise standards”. “In the years ahead, Ayushman Bharat will remain a symbol of the PM Narendra Modi’s vision, the government’s commitment and the nation’s determination to protect the health of its people,” he added.
