No panel formed for extending benefits to cover citizens above 70 under Ayushman Bharat: Govt

Union Minister of State for Health Prataprao Jadhav clarified in the Lok Sabha on Friday that no expert committee has been established to extend the health benefits under Ayushman Bharat to citizens aged 70 and above. This response came in reply to a query regarding the government's plan to include this age group by launching a national health claims exchange and potentially strengthening the scheme's format.
