Guwahati, Sept 23 (IBNS) : Three patients have been admitted in Guwahati Medical College Hospital (GMCH) in Assam under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana-Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY-AB) scheme, within 10 minutes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the mega healthcare programme in Sunday.
According to the reports, all three kidney disease patients have been admitted at the Nephrology department in the government-run hospital.
52-year-old Lakshi Rani Barman, hailing from lower Assam’s Nalbari district, suffered from kidney disease problems.
Barman was admitted to the government-run hospital under the mega healthcare programme.
Apart from Renu Barman, two other kidney disease patients named Jyoti Prasad Bordoloi and Premananda Limbo were admitted at GMCH under the world’s largest government funded health care programme.
Guwahati Medical College Hospital (GMCH) Superintendent Dr Ramen Talukdar said that after launching the PMJAY, three patients have been admitted at GMCH and they are suffering kidney diseases.
“We have already started treatment of the patients and they will get benefit upto Rs 5 lakh under the programme. We will try our best to provide all facilities to the patients who will come to the hospital. We have also started a separate counter for the patients under PMJAY and a separate team has been engaged for it,” Dr Ramen Talukdar said.
On the other hand, Assam Chief Minister Sarbanadna Sonowal on Sunday rolled out Ayushman Bharat-National Health Protection Mission at a programme held at Khanapra Veterinary Playground in Guwahati.
Around 27 lakh families in Assam will be covered under the mega healthcare programme.
