What began 8 years ago as the Sankalp for Seva of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji has transformed healthcare access for millions, with Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY — the world’s largest Health Assurance Scheme — now covering more than half a billion people across the country.
With 60 Crore+ people covered, 48.54 Crore+ Ayushman Cards created and 13 Crore+ people having already availed treatment, the scheme is turning the promise of quality healthcare and financial protection into a reality for families across India.
More than ₹2 Lakh Crore+ worth of hospitalisation and treatment has been availed through 39,000+ empanelled public and private hospitals across the country.
But the significance of these numbers goes far beyond statistics.
Behind every number is a story — a family protected from the burden of medical debt, a patient receiving timely treatment, a loved one relieved of pain, and a household able to face illness without the fear of financial hardship.
Hearing directly from beneficiaries and witnessing their experiences is a powerful reminder of the impact of this historic journey of Seva.
Guided by the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, we remain steadfast in our commitment to strengthen an accessible, affordable and inclusive healthcare system, ensuring that every citizen can access quality healthcare with dignity and without financial hardship.
More than half a billion lives covered. Millions of stories of hope. One unwavering Sankalp — Seva and Health for All.

At the PMNCH Accountability Breakfast on the sidelines of #UNGA81 in New York, Union Health Secretary Ms. Punya Salila Srivastava highlighted how accountability is an inbuilt feature of India’s health system.
She outlined how the National Health Mission (NHM) supports States with financial and technical assistance for women, children and adolescent health, with priorities discussed through Programme Implementation Plans and placed in the public domain, promoting transparency and accountability.
She highlighted outcome-based incentives for States to encourage healthy competition and better health outcomes, along with digital systems ensuring funds reach intended beneficiaries.
She further underlined the role of Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) gap assessments in identifying infrastructure and service-delivery gaps, while National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS) enable health facilities to systematically address these gaps and improve quality of care.
She also highlighted equity under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, one of the world’s largest health assurance schemes, with women accounting for nearly half of its beneficiaries.
