The Central government on Thursday claimed that around 20 lakh patients have been treated under Ayushman Bharat Yojana within 200 days of its launch.
"Marching forward with the vision of PM Narendra Modi I take pride in sharing the fact that we have accomplished a milestone of treating 20 Lakh patients and providing financial relief of more than 2600 Cr under Ayushman Bharat within 200 days since its launch," Union Health Minister JP Nadda said here.
