One of the revolutionary healthcare programmes in recent times, Ayushman Bharat Scheme, is marked on the Ayushman Bharat Diwas on April 30. The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), popularly known as Ayushman Bharat, was introduced by the Indian government on September 23, 2018, with the objective of offering millions of people in the nation access to affordable healthcare.

Every year, Ayushman Bharat Diwas is celebrated to mark the significant accomplishments made possible and to reaffirm the commitment to enhancing healthcare results for all societal segments. The two core components of the plan are the establishment of primary Health and Wellness Centers (HWCs) and the Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), which offers health insurance coverage to households who are deemed vulnerable.
