What will determine the costs of Prime Minister’s Jan Arogya Yojana?
The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana was launched in 2018 with the aim of covering hospitalisation expenses of the vulnerable 40% of the population, to protect them against financial risk arising out of catastrophic health expenses. It is touted as a game changer in the Indian health sector. Indrani Gupta and Abhijit Roy argue that if costs supersede the allocated funds for the programme, it may substitute other critical investments in the health sector and introduce distortions in the health services market.
