Chief Minister Assures Medical Assistance During Janata Darshan
During a recent Janata Darshan event, the Chief Minister engaged with 150 attendees, addressing their requests for financial aid for medical treatments. He emphasized that individuals eligible for assistance must first be enrolled in the Ayushman scheme, a government health insurance initiative. If further financial support is necessary, it can be accessed through the Chief Minister’s discretionary fund.
Among those seeking help was a specially-abled man from Deoria, who requested assistance for his medical needs. Upon discovering that he did not have an Ayushman card, the Chief Minister instructed officials to expedite the card’s issuance to ensure he receives the necessary support.
