About this health scheme
The Mukhyamantri Amrutum Yojana, is a health insurance scheme launched by the Government of Gujarat on 4th September 2012. It was initially launched only to cater to people who fall under the lowest income groups of the state i.e. Below Poverty Line (BPL).
A large number of households are pushed into poverty as a result of the high costs of household spending on health care. The Below Poverty Line (BPL) population is especially vulnerable to catastrophic health risks. To address this key vulnerability faced by the BPL population in Gujarat, the State Government has launched a medical care scheme called Mukhyamantri Amrutum (MA) Yojana. The objective of the scheme is to improve access of BPL families to quality medical and surgical care for the treatment of identified diseases involving hospitalization, surgeries and therapies through an em panel network of health care providers.
