Haemodialysis tops procedures under Ayushman scheme
The Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) is a health insurance scheme in India.
The latest report shows that haemodialysis, a treatment for kidney problems, is the most common procedure under this scheme.
Other common treatments include cataract surgery, childbirth, and treatments for infections.
The scheme has helped over 11.93 crore people get hospital care.
Most of these treatments happen in private hospitals, even though there are more public hospitals.
The report also talks about how different states manage the scheme.
Most states now use the Trust model, where the state government handles everything directly.
A few states still use the Insurance model, where private insurance companies manage the claims.
This shift shows that states are getting better at managing healthcare on their own.
Haemodialysis is the most performed procedure under AB-PMJAY, accounting for 14.1% of all treatments.
The scheme has facilitated 11.93 crore hospital admissions since its inception.
Private hospitals account for 52% of admissions, while public hospitals handle 48%.
There are 35,908 empanelled hospitals, with 54% in the public sector and 46% in the private sector.
Private sector hospitals accounted for 67% of the total claim amount, receiving ₹1.78 lakh crore.
