Under the said schemes, poor and marginalized will be benefitted most. The Government has also asked officers to set target of at least registering 8000-10000 beneficiaries every day to accomplish the task on time. The Government has further asked its insurance partner to make the process simple so that there is timely disbursement of claims.
It was revealed that around 4907408 Ayushman (Golden) cards have been generated so far and provided to beneficiaries. With such schemes the health care system of Jammu and Kashmir is now touching new heights, she added.
