Cashless Road Accident Treatment Launches in Andhra Pradesh
Imagine getting into a car accident.
Now, the government has a new plan!
If you're hurt, you can get free treatment at certain hospitals for up to a week.
The hospitals will send the bill to the government, and you don't have to pay anything upfront.
