Myth of coverage: How state delay, private sector disinterest caused PM-JAY to fail

Almost 90% of COVID-19 hospitalisations under the scheme took place in 4 states

Myth of coverage: How India’s flagship health insurance scheme failed its poorest during pandemic

Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) provided cushion to only 14.25% people hospitalised for COVID-19

As told to Parliament (December 21, 2022): 42.1 million hospital admissions under PMJAY

The admissions were worth Rs 49,468.6 crore and helped reduce out-of-pocket health expenditure
