Chandigarh: The Haryana government has given a lot of relief to the people suffering from liver and kidney diseases in the state. CM Saini has approved free kidney and liver transplant services up to Rs 3 lakh for eligible patients under the Chief Minister Free Treatment Scheme (MMMIY).
Apart from this, the Chief Minister has also approved the creation of a special fixed kidney and liver transport package of Rs 3 lakh under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana-Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY-AB) scheme.
Health, Medical Education, and Research Minister Dr. Kamal Gupta confirmed this and said that with this new initiative, the identified patients will be able to get serious kidney and liver transplantation done at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak, without worrying about any expenses.
The Haryana Health Minister said that earlier, there was no provision to cover expenses related to kidney or liver transplants under MMMIY. Due to this need, patients had to face insurmountable obstacles to treatment.
The introduction of this facility in a government healthcare institution for the first time is an important step towards bridging this gap and providing comprehensive care to the most vulnerable sections of society, focusing on inclusive healthcare system.
Dr. Gupta said that these decisions aim to provide life-saving medical treatment to those who are in dire need of it and to ensure that no one is deprived of essential healthcare due to financial constraints.
Apart from this, CM Naib Saini has also released Rs 44.1 crore for pediatric HDU-ICU units in district hospitals. Out of Rs 44.1 crore, Rs 38.8 crore will be spent annually on the appointment of 21 intensivists, 105 duty medical officers (trained in ICU), 420 ICU-trained staff nurses, sisters, 105 OT-anesthesia technicians, and 21 counsellors. Along with this, a separate wing will be formed to maintain records related to the manpower employed in running the ICU.
