The Indian government has now included ASHA and Anganwadi workers under health insurance. Through the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri-Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), these workers will now access up to Rs 5 lakh annually for hospitalisation expenses, aligning them with other beneficiaries. This decision reflects the government's commitment to equitable healthcare access and acknowledges the critical role played by frontline workers in community health services. It marks a significant stride towards enhancing healthcare provisions nationwide.
