New Delhi: The Ayushman card is part of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana (PM-JAY), a flagship healthcare scheme launched by the Indian government in 2018. This health card allows eligible families to receive up to ₹5 lakh worth of free treatment every year at any government or approved private hospital across India. It is especially intended for economically weaker sections, helping reduce the financial burden of medical expenses.
