Mizoram’s healthcare landscape is transforming with the Universal Health Care Scheme now safeguarding over 11.55 lakh individuals. Health authorities disclosed this progress on Monday following a strategic committee meeting presided over by Chief Minister Lalduhoma.
The review covered operational successes and forward planning. Expressing appreciation for Health Minister Lalrinpuii and the MUHCS team, the Chief Minister highlighted how their dedication is rebuilding public trust in state health systems.
The beneficiary base includes 2.88 lakh families—spanning general public, pensioners, government workers, and AB-PMJAY enrollees—offering widespread protection.
In FY 2026-27 to date, 29 percent of families have claimed benefits (seven percent of total beneficiaries), averaging Rs 15,106 per approval.
Seventy percent claims from government setups signal strong preference for public care; private hospitals feature in high-stake cases for advanced treatments.
The panel urged enhancements to public infrastructure and routine use of listed hospitals, with refined rules for urgent non-listed referrals.
Budget-wise, Rs 154 crore received, Rs 48 crore incoming. 83,682 claims cleared at Rs 126 crore; Rs 38 crore pending.
Accelerated weekly payouts support providers beyond standard timelines. Next fiscal’s enhancements: easier workflows, low-cost pharma hubs, duplicate prevention.
Notable presence of advisor T.B.C. Lalvenchhunga and peers emphasized collaborative governance.
