The theme of the programme was ‘Service and Excellence’. Aarogya Manthan 3.0, a four-day event, commenced by observing ‘Ayushman Bharat Diwas’.
Mandaviya said, “Health and development are interlinked. Universal healthcare is the objective and vision of the Prime Minister. Leveraging digital technology in the healthcare sector, India aims to set national goals of digitising the healthcare landscape to make delivery of services smooth, robust, quick and efficient. In this regard, the National Digital Health Mission will prove to be a game-changer. Public-government partnership is the reason for the success of any government programme. Ayushman Mitra is one such initiative.”
The minister also virtually interacted with the AB PM-JAY beneficiaries from Jammu and Kashmir, Chhattisgarh, Andaman and Nicobar, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Assam.
The AB PM-JAY was launched on September 23, 2018 from Ranchi by Narendra Modi with an aim to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
