Ayushman Bharat Diwas, also known as Ayushman Bharat Divas, is observed on April 30th in India. It commemorates the launch of the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), which is the world's largest government-funded healthcare program.
The Ayushman Bharat scheme was launched by the Government of India on September 23, 2018, with the aim of providing financial protection to over 500 million vulnerable and economically disadvantaged individuals and families across India. The program offers health insurance coverage of up to ₹5 lakh (approximately $6,700) per family per year, enabling beneficiaries to access quality healthcare services without facing financial hardship.
Ayushman Bharat Diwas serves as an occasion to raise awareness about the Ayushman Bharat scheme and its benefits, as well as to celebrate the achievements and progress made in expanding healthcare coverage and access to services for millions of people in India.
Various events and activities are organized on Ayushman Bharat Diwas, including health camps, awareness campaigns, and community outreach initiatives. It is also a time to acknowledge the contributions of healthcare professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders who have worked tirelessly to implement and support the Ayushman Bharat program, improving healthcare outcomes and advancing the goal of universal health coverage in India.
