3. INTRODUCTION
• Ayushman Bharat Yojana or Ayushman Bharat –
Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY).
• Ayushman Bharat is a fundamental restructuring of the
manner in which beneficiaries access healthcare
services at the primary, secondary and tertiary care
levels.
• It represents a transition from segmented, sectoral and
fragmented program implementation models towards a
comprehensive, holistic, need-based healthcare system.
3
4. • It encapsulates a progression towards
promotive, preventive, curative, palliative
and rehabilitative aspects through access of
Health and Wellness Centers (HWCs) at the
primary level.
• It provides provision of financial protection for
access of curative care at the secondary and
tertiary levels through engagement with both
public and private sector.

7. Rationale
• Healthcare in India is largely underpenetrated
with government expenditure at around 1.25%
of the GDP(Gross Domestic Product).
• Nearly 55-60 million Indians are pushed into
poverty every year to meet medical needs.
• The hospitalisation expenses for critical
ailments had shot up by 300 per cent over a
decade.
• An estimated 6 million families sink into
poverty each year due to hospitalisation.
7
8. Aim
• Ayushman Bharat aims to undertake path
breaking interventions to holistically
address health( covering prevention,
promotion and ambulatory care), at
primary, secondary and tertiary.

12. Health and Wellness Centre
• The first component, pertains to creation of
1,50,000 Health and Wellness Centres.
• Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CPHC),
covering both maternal and child health
services and non-communicable diseases,
including free essential drugs and diagnostic
services.
• The first Health and Wellness Centre was
launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister at
Jangla, Bijapur, Chhatisgarh on 14 April 2018.12

14. National Health Protection Scheme
• The second component is the Pradhan Mantri
Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY).
• It provides health protection cover to poor and
vulnerable families.
• About 62.58% of our population has to pay for
their own health and hospitalization expenses
and are not covered through any form of health
protection.
