Government to include AYUSH in Ayushman Bharat scheme
The Indian government is planning to integrate AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) into the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY), a major health insurance scheme covering 55 crore citizens. This initiative aims to provide a more holistic health coverage by including traditional medical systems alongside modern treatments. The integration involves developing standardized treatment guidelines, onboarding AYUSH hospitals, and assessing financial sustainability. While the move could broaden healthcare access and promote wellness, challenges include ensuring treatment consistency and financial viability. The process is ongoing with decisions expected soon.
