The government is planning to include heart, liver, and lung transplant surgeries under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. This move aims to provide relief to poor and middle-class families facing high medical costs.
Currently, these expensive organ transplant procedures are often out of reach for many. Their inclusion in the scheme would make critical treatments accessible to a wider population.
Separately, the Madhya Pradesh government is working on a proposal to increase the annual treatment limit under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. The current limit of Rs 5 lakh is being considered for an increase to Rs 10 lakh.
This proposed enhancement in coverage would offer greater financial assistance for costly treatments, including organ transplants. It provides considerable relief to the underprivileged in the state.
These initiatives collectively aim to improve access to essential medical care for those requiring organ transplants. The government is likely to finalize these proposals soon.
