Ayushman Asom – Mukhya Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana 2024
Ayushman Asom – Mukhya Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana is a revolutionary healthcare system for Assamese citizens. On the occasion of the second anniversary of government, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma introduced the Ayushman Assam Scheme under the Mukhya Mantri Jan Arogya (MMJA) in Guwahati. Although this yojana is similar to the central government’s Ayushman Bharat Yojana , it differs in that it will pay for all types of disease-related medical expenses. In institutions with impaneled status across the nation, each eligible family member would receive cashless medical treatment up to Rs 5 lakh.
