Join hands to implement Ayushman Bharat: Harsh Vardhan to Delhi CM

The Quint  

New Delhi, June 8 Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Saturday termed the Delhi government's claim that its health scheme was "10 times bigger and comprehensive" than the Centre's flagship Ayushman Bharat programme as "baseless". Harsh Vardhan's comments came a day after Kejriwal in a written communique to the Union Health Minister said that the Aam Aadmi Party government's health scheme was "10 times bigger and comprehensive" than the Ayushman Bharat programme. You have also mentioned that the income criterion of Rs 10,000 per month is less than the minimum wages in Delhi but I want to correct you that this criterion of Rs 10,000 per month was used on data collected in 2011 and therefore, such families which were earning less than Rs 10,000 per month in 2011 are eligible under the scheme," Harsh Vardhan said. Disproving Kejriwal's claim on unlimited cover being provided under the "free health scheme of Delhi Government," Harsh Vardhan stated that unlimited cover had no meaning if people still had to pay to get the treatment.
