Most hospitals participating in transplant procedures are enrolled under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. However, if a patient is ineligible for Ayushman Bharat for any reason, they may apply under DKBSSY (if below the poverty line) or MVSSY (if above the poverty line). It’s important to note that DKBSSY and MVSSY schemes are merged and function jointly, ensuring comprehensive healthcare support for eligible patients.
These schemes not only provide financial assistance but also offer hope and support to individuals and families grappling with organ failure. By facilitating access to life-saving treatments, the government and various organizations are making a tangible difference in the lives of countless individuals across the state. As awareness grows and more people benefit from these schemes, Chhattisgarh continues to make strides towards a healthier and more inclusive society.
