9th January 2025: The much-anticipated Ayushman Bharat scheme will now be implemented in February, not January as previously expected. Odisha’s Health Minister Mukesh Mahaling confirmed this important update, stating that the Cabinet has approved the scheme, and an MOU between the central and state governments will take place on the 13th of this month.
Once the MOU is signed, the process of printing and distributing the cards to eligible beneficiaries will begin. Following the distribution, the Ayushman Bharat scheme will be officially rolled out in February. This healthcare initiative aims to provide accessible and affordable health services to citizens, particularly focusing on the economically disadvantaged sections of society.
The Health Minister emphasized that after the MOU is signed, the necessary formalities, including the signing of MoUs and card distribution, will take place, ensuring a smooth launch of the scheme in February.
