On the initiative of Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai, the common man is getting benefit under Veer Narayan Singh Ayushman Health Assistance Scheme. Under the public welfare Ayushman Bharat Yojana, it was possible to get a free treatment of the serious disease of a poor family of a poor family in Kondagaon district, which has given a big relief to the family with the new life. This scheme not only treated the child, but it returned to the smile again on the face of the entire family members.
Smt. Suganin Nag, a resident of village Madanar in Kondagaon development block and Manraj Nag, eight-year-old son of Khel Singh Nag, had a continuous cold-cough problem since childhood. Despite the treatment of this disease of the child several times in local hospitals, he was not getting any relief and was also facing financial troubles. On getting no relief at the local level, his family reached a private hospital in Andhra Pradesh in search of better medical treatment, where doctors said after necessary tests that Manraj has a hole in his heart and surgery is the only solution. But it was not possible for the family to bear the expenses of surgery, due to which they returned to their village disappointed.
The family did not lose courage despite financial difficulties while looking at his child’s problems. On contacting the health workers of the village, they came to know about the Ayushman Bharat scheme. This plan became a ray of hope. Manraj was taken to a private hospital in Raipur under the guidance of officials of the district’s health department, where in November 2024 his cardiothoresic and wescular surgery was successfully performed, for which the Ayushman scheme provided financial assistance of Rs 01 lakh 59 thousand. After heart surgery, Manraj is completely healthy today and is living a new life.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and according to the intention of Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai, the government is very sensitive to the health of the citizens of the state. Through public welfare schemes, it is constantly trying to provide better health facilities to remote areas and its positive results are also coming out. The result of better implementation of the government’s Ayushman Bharat Yojana is that the scheme not only gave life to an innocent child, but also filled his family with a new hope and faith.
