Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana (BSKY) was launched by the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Odisha on 15th August 2018, as a path-breaking program to provide universal health coverage, with special emphasis on the health protection of vulnerable families and women. The objective of this scheme is to protect economically vulnerable families from falling into this poverty trap by catastrophic health expenditure.
In the "Cashless Health Care in Impaneled Private Hospitals" component, the State Government will bear the cost of healthcare provided in empanelled private hospitals for identified economically vulnerable families in the State, for annual health coverage of ₹ 5,00,000 per family and an additional ₹ 5,00,000 for the women members of the family after exhaustion of the initial limit.
Since its inception, the BSKY has launched a new era in Universal Health Coverage, with over 45,00,000 instances of cashless treatment being provided each month.
Hon’ble Chief Minister Always Directs The Administration To Ensure The Dignity Of The Citizens While Availing Government Program Benefits. With This Vision, The Mo Sarkar Feedback System Has Been Launched To Directly Get Feedback From The Beneficiaries And The Stakeholders.
