A healthy interaction

November 23, 2018 16:26

Three months into the implementation of Ayushman Bharat, CEO Indu Bhushan took to Twitter for the third time to take questions on the Centre's ambitious health insurance scheme.

While a large majority of the questions was related to the scheme -- a common question was how could people avail of the scheme if their state did not sign up for it -- one question would have surely embarrassed the prime movers of the programme.

One user wanted to know when would the Ayushman Mitras (recruited to assist patients) in Haryana be paid their salaries. While that question remained unanswered during the session, the CEO did mention an alternative helpline number when someone complained that the regular helpline number (14555) was not working.
