Madhya Pradesh State Legal Services Authority took a clarion call for ensuring basic health facilities under the Ayushmaan Bharat Scheme to all entitled persons in coordination with the Health Department and local administration. Recognizing that access to health is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, a statewide campaign has been launched commencing from 03.03.2021 under the caption "Apke Dwaar Ayushmaan".
The campaign was flagged off by the Administrative Judge Principal Seat Jabalpur & Executive Chairman from the office of the M.P. State Legal Services Authority while at the District Court level the District Judge/Chairman DLSA flagged off the rally from the District Court Campus. The bike rallies converged at the Medical College/District Hospital where a small camp was also held to make patients and their attendants aware of the facilities available under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme. At the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College Jabalpur a help-desk was set up and Ayushman Cards of 47 eligible persons were prepared by the Ayushman Mitras.
Through this step it is expected that the MPSLSA, in coordination with the Government functionaries, shall successfully reach out to underprivileged people across the State and ensure their accessibility to optimum health facilities and the right to live with dignity through free treatment facilities extending up to Rs. 5 lakhs annually for every card holder.
