Ayushman Bharat: East Singhbhum Second Highest Beneficiary

East Singhbhum residents have significantly benefited from the Ayushman Bharat scheme, ranking second in the state.

JAMSHEDPUR – East Singhbhum stands as a leading beneficiary in the Ayushman Bharat healthcare scheme, with 1,66,078 individuals availing its benefits, following Ranchi’s lead.

In terms of Ayushman card enrollment, 8,38,897 people in East Singhbhum have secured their cards, placing the district second in the state.

The district boasts 46 hospitals affiliated with the Ayushman Bharat scheme, although seven have not treated any patients since their registration.
