Nadda holds high-review meet with WB CM, discusses AB PM-JAY implementation in state

Business To Business, New Delhi, 23rd May, 2026:   J. P. Nadda on Saturday held a high-level review meeting with Suvendu Adhikari to discuss the implementation of Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana in West Bengal.
According to the Union Health Ministry, discussions focused on signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that would enable eligible beneficiaries in the state to access healthcare benefits under the central scheme without delay.
Nadda stated that nearly 1.45 crore families, including senior citizens, are expected to benefit once the scheme is implemented in West Bengal. The programme is aimed at expanding affordable healthcare access, particularly for economically vulnerable sections of society.
During the virtual meeting, Adhikari reportedly sought the Centre’s support and guidance for effective implementation so that healthcare services can reach underserved and vulnerable populations across the state.
Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana is one of India’s flagship public healthcare initiatives, designed to provide financial protection and cashless treatment for eligible families at empanelled hospitals.
