COVID-19 Testing, treatment free under AB-PMJAY

COVID-19 Testing, treatment free under AB-PMJAY


Modi government has taken a big decision to combat Coronavirus crisis. Now, more than 50 crore citizens, eligible under the government’s health assurance scheme – Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana – will be able to avail free testing through private labs and treatment for COVID -19 in empanelled hospitals as well.
The major decision that can be seen as a reprieve for many as the Centre has decided to make the testing and treatment for COVID-19 available under Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PM JAY). The testing and treatment of COVID -19 is already available for free in the public facilities. “The empanelled hospitals can use their own authorized testing facilities or tie up with an authorized testing facility,” said a government statement.
These tests would be carried out as per Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines and by private labs either approved or registered by the ICMR. Treatment of COVID-19 by private hospitals will also be covered under the scheme.
Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PM JAY) is the flagship scheme of the Centre that provides cashless and paperless access to medical services.
Health Minister Harsh Vardhan told media, “In this unprecedented crisis, we have to very actively involve the private sector as a key partner and stakeholder in the fight against COVID-19. Making testing and treatment available under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY will significantly expand our capacities by including private sector hospitals and labs and mitigate the adverse impact of this catastrophic illness on the poor.” The decision has been taken to increase the supply of testing and treatment facilities as well as increase access to them by roping in the private sector through the scheme. This decision will also help attract more private sector players for providing testing and treatment for COVID-19 which is likely to be critical in case there is a surge in the number of patient that need care
Meanwhile, as per the latest data by Health Ministry,  the number of confirmed novel coronavirus cases in the country climbed to 3,374 on Sunday while the death toll rose to 77, according to Union Health Ministry data. While the number of active COVID-19 cases stood at 3,030, as many as 266 people were either cured of the disease and discharged, and one had migrated, it said.

    1. The tests and Medicine for treatment of coronavirus must be free to all citizen of India as no drugs and rapid testing kits are yet been invented and supplied by central due to Poor Research facilities and Policy decisions. We are suffering for none of our faults. No Industrial Growth and Employment Growth is due to dependence on China. GOVT should have encouraged usage of Indegeneous products and Technologies which will create Employment Growth and Industrial Growth. We prefer to invest more in defense deal for Bribes and cutmoney and less on Health Care Facilities. HOPELESS ADMINISTRATION

  10. I am proud of mr. Modi,ie our honourable prime minister who is real ambassador of entire world and his highly diplomatic guidance will show the light to the world leaders. today, we are exporting life saving drugs to many countries and as well world leaders inclusive of muslim countries are also very happy with india because of honourable Modi. illiterate people should be rendered perfect scientific education so that they may realize the value of our prime minister who is the first indian prime minister fetched higher respect and regards not only for him, for every indians also. I myself along with my family witnessed in usa, London, Switzerland, Germany and other countries.we as indians should wait for a few years more to get the development and prosperity of poor classes. population of 130 crores cannot expect magical changes. our earlier prime minister's never taken the bold decisions as mr Modi and ex prime minister mr Atal Bihari Bajpayi did and mr Rajib Gandhi who inaugurated the telecommunications and that was spread to all villages of india by Bajpayi government.
    hats off to Modi and ex. Bajpayi government. Covid- 19 is a new virus with unknown characteristics to india and I believe our health depts, doctors, nurses and all other auxiliaries are doing their best of life. Hats off to honourable Modi government.
    thank you.

  42. I thank our Honorable PM for such a meticulous care he has been taking on people of India.At this point I would like to appeal to PM to focus more on Prevention Research and Prevention technologies of Covid-19 as it is affordable and inexpensive to every citizen.I am proposing here “Kutikuppala Umbrella Principle”(KUP) first time in the world to maintain scientifically social distance to eradicate COVID – 19 a totally novel application of Umbrella Principle to halt the velocity of transmission of the scourge of CORONA. Since the first case of corona surfaced in China the key factor or hallmark suggestion to control Corona epidemic by every Research body like WHO CDC Center for Disease Control USA, or ICMR has been to maintain physical Distance of around a meter. But no suggestion came that with which tool a scientific physical distance can be maintained. On a pilot study on awareness of Physical distance by general public, 85% of the participants said that they did not know what a social distance is and 15% said that they know vaguely, but didn't know how to implement it. Under this scenario, this umbrella principle has been proposed particularly for use of common men of this country Severe stampede and ghastly crowding of liquor purchasers in a KM queue could be controlled easily by asking them to come with umbrella to purchase liquor at Visakhapatnam.(It can be verified from Police Commissioner of Vizag). When the umbrella is used by everyone while they are in queue, even if one of them is Corona positive and coughs or sneezes, a voluntary reaction takes place among them to cover the face with umbrella immediately which covers half of the upper body and major routes of entry of SARS-CoV2 in to our body are two nostrils, two eyes and oral cavity are being blocked effectively. When two umbrellas are side by side in use, easily a physical distance of more than one and half meters is automatically maintained all the times forcibly, that eradicates spread Corona droplets significantly. Further, canopy of the umbrellas treated with anti viral lotion have also been provided specially for use in red zones. Washing the used umbrellas with soap and water and drying it outside the house in hot sun for at least one hour before next use is advised, so that if at all any corona droplets fall on the umbrella they will be killed or get inactivated by the present day temperatures which are around 35 to 40 degree centigrade besides soap cleaning. The black cloth of umbrella also attracts more heat radiation and prevents even aerial transmission. As a whole Kutikuppala Umbrellas are uniquely designed with treatment of anti viral lotion would kill viruses like Corona, Ebola, SAARS, Swine flu, MERS, seasonal flu including TB bacteria, CAP (Community Acquired Pneumonia) and hanging pollutants in the pollutant cities would be knocked efficiently. In a country like India of 136 crores with thickly populated zones like Dharavi in Maharashtra, promotion of umbrella use by every citizen would be a great public health measure to control said infections/polluted related ailments and diseases.Utilizing umbrella is affordable, simple, safe, scientific and friendly use to maintain required physical distance automatically in the era of COVID 19.In summer umbrellas prevent sun stroke too to larger extent. Therefore in the fight against an unseen enemy Corona by every citizen and in the scenario ofliving with unknown corona carriers, using umbrellas in public places act like a shield in the Hands of soldiers in the battle field.
