Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana is one of the components of the Ayushman Bharat Scheme. Ayushman Bharat Scheme is designed with the vision of Universal Health Coverage. Thus, its motto, “Leave no one behind”.  It is an attempt to move from a sectoral and segmented approach of health service delivery to a comprehensive need-based health care service. This scheme aims to undertake path-breaking interventions to holistically address the healthcare system (covering prevention, promotion, and ambulatory care) at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels.

PM-JAY is the second component of the Ayushman Bharat Scheme. It is the largest health assurance scheme in the world. It is fully funded by the Government and the cost of implementation is shared between the Central and State Governments. Its aim is to provide a health cover of Rs. 5 lakhs per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization to over 10.74 crores of poor and vulnerable families.

Its vision for the next five years is to ensure financial protection against catastrophic health expenditure and access to affordable and quality healthcare for all. Its mission for the next five years is to create the world’s best health assurance program on an efficient and technologically robust ecosystem.
