Deep in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district, where mountains isolate communities, Ayushman Bharat Vay Vandana is delivering free healthcare to the doorstep. Over 500 cards issued mean locals can now seek treatment without fear of crippling costs.
Beneficiary Awal Singh Rawat’s hospital stay was seamless. ‘Previously, illness meant debt and distant journeys. Today, my Ayushman card covers it all,’ he gratefully shared.
Similarly, Bhimsingh overcame health woes with zero expenses. ‘Full investigations and care, all free – a game-changer,’ he noted, calling on peers to register.
The district’s tough terrain has long impeded medical access, with rough paths and scant resources compounding poverty’s toll. This initiative offers holistic support, prioritizing vulnerable elders in far-flung areas.
Field teams traverse villages for on-spot registrations, ensuring inclusivity. Beyond relief, it’s a step toward universal health justice, aligning with national goals.
Chamoli’s transformation underscores the scheme’s impact, fostering resilience and well-being in India’s remote frontiers.
