Scheme

Mahatma Gandhi Sarbat Sehat Bima Yojana :-

Launched by Punjab Government


Health insurance scheme

 It incorporates Ayushman Bharat or Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), Centre’s health insurance scheme for poor.

 By clubbing Centre’s Ayushman Bharat plan with its MGSSBY, it is expected to benefit 46 lakh families covering 76% of state’s population. 

Like PMJAY, this Punjab government’s scheme will also provide cashless health insurance cover of Rs.5 lakh/year. 

 Scheme would be extend to over 76% of its population, in sharp contrast to 12% that would have been covered under Centre’s PMJAY.

 Punjab has become 1st state to offer medical insurance for such a large proportion of its population.
