JAMMU, Nov 28: Yudhvir Sethi, J&K BJP vice president today inaugurated Ayushman Bharat-cum-ABHA registration camp here at Ward No 7, Kanji House.
The camp was organized by Harvinder Singh, Ward convenor, with the support and guidance of Yudhvir Sethi.
Speaking on the occasion, Yudhvir asked the people to avail the benefits of such camps as the purpose of these camps is to provide services to the common people at their door steps. He said that Aadhar Card is the most significant identity document of a person in India and a gateway to avail any kind of benefit under the schemes rolled out by the Government. Therefore it is not necessary to only obtain the Aadhar Card but also ensure that it contains correct details. He said that those who have already got the Aadhar cards issued should get these corrected if any discrepancy is found in them.
Sethi also threw light on the benefit of ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) Card which previously known as Health ID. “It helps individuals to access healthcare benefits and store their medical information digitally in one place. ABHA health card benefits users by letting them enjoy healthcare services, including registration, appointment scheduling with a doctor, and storing electronic medical records. The Health ID card can also be linked to multiple health schemes and insurance plans, providing various benefits. Therefore, a Health ID card is one-stop identification for all healthcare-related activities. It makes it easier for individuals to access and manage their overall wellness,” he said.
Similarly, the senior BJP leader highlighted the benefit of the Ayushman cards issued under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme that provides free of cost treatment to a family up to five lakh rupees. He said that the cover under the Ayushman Bharat to the needy patients in case of health eventualities comes as a great relief to the affected family.
Among those who were present include Praveen Kerni, Mandal president Jammu East, Sanjay Mahey former corporator, Jagjeevan Lal, booth president and BJP leader Amit Khanna.
