Jan Arogya Nidhi
- A health-focused initiative to support treatment, raise awareness, and ensure affordable healthcare access for every family.
1: Financial Assistance for Serious Illnesses
- The primary objective of Jan Arogya Nidhi is to extend financial support to individuals suffering from serious or life-threatening illnesses who are unable to afford treatment costs.
- Applicants will be required to submit:
- A medical report and diagnosis from a recognized hospital.
- Estimated treatment costs and doctor's prescription.
- Income proof or certification from community authorities (in case of unorganized sector).
- Assistance will be granted on a case-by-case basis, ensuring critical illnesses are addressed urgently.
- The fund will be disbursed directly to the hospital or healthcare institution to ensure proper utilization.
- A maximum limit of financial aid per patient will be defined based on treatment type and financial need, with provisions for flexibility in exceptional cases.
2: Promoting Health Awareness
- Jan Arogya Nidhi also aims to promote preventive healthcare and public awareness around health and hygiene.
- A structured awareness campaign will be launched to:
- Educate people on symptoms of major diseases (e.g., cancer, diabetes, heart diseases).
- Promote early detection and regular medical checkups.
- Dispel myths and misinformation related to treatment and diagnosis.
- Encourage healthy lifestyle habits and personal hygiene.
- Awareness programs will be implemented through:
- Health camps
- Street plays, posters, and digital content
- Collaboration with local health workers and NGOs
- The goal is to empower citizens with knowledge so they can make informed healthcare decisions.
3: Access to Affordable Health Insurance
- To make healthcare sustainable, the initiative will work towards enabling access to affordable health insurance plans for every family, especially those from marginalized communities.
- The plan includes:
- Identifying suitable group health insurance schemes.
- Partnering with insurers to design low-premium, high-benefit plans.
- Supporting enrollment drives across rural and low-income urban regions.
- Creating helplines and assistance centers to help families understand claim processes and use benefits effectively.
- Families will be encouraged to secure themselves under insurance so that in case of a medical emergency, they can avail proper treatment without facing financial ruin.
- Special subsidies or premium support may be extended to the most economically vulnerable families to ensure universal participation.
