Speaker Vijender Gupta Advocates for Ayushman Bharat Yojna

New Delhi, 16 May: In an effort to raise awareness and improve healthcare services in the National Capital, Vijender Gupta, Hon’ble Speaker of the Delhi Legislative Assembly and MLA from Rohini , visited a special camp for the registration of Ayushman Vay Vandana Cards at Sector-9 Rohini, today . Lauding the Central Government’s Ayushman Bharat scheme, Shri Gupta underscored its transformative potential in making quality healthcare more accessible, especially for the senior citizens of Delhi.

The Ayushman Vay Vandana Card Scheme, a new addition under the Ayushman Bharat umbrella, was at the heart of the event. This initiative offers senior citizens aged 70 years and above access to free and cashless treatment up to ₹10 lakh per year—an enhancement that includes a ₹5 lakh top-up over the standard Ayushman Bharat coverage. Shri Gupta highlighted the importance of this initiative in addressing the specific health needs of the elderly, including coverage for pre-existing conditions and access to empaneled hospitals across India.

The camp witnessed an enthusiastic response from residents, reflecting growing awareness and public support for inclusive healthcare policies. Shri Gupta reiterated the government’s commitment to bridging gaps in health equity, noting that initiatives like these are instrumental in empowering vulnerable communities and reducing the financial burden of medical care on families.

The Speaker praised the proactive implementation of the scheme and urged eligible citizens to come forward and avail the benefits of the Ayushman Vay Vandana Card, reinforcing his vision of a healthier and more secure Delhi for all.
