Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi reviewed India's healthcare sector transformation over the past 12 years, emphasizing efforts to make quality healthcare more affordable and accessible. The Prime Minister highlighted that India now hosts the world's largest healthcare programme, Ayushman Bharat, which provides top-quality healthcare to the most vulnerable populations.
Specific initiatives mentioned include the PM Bharatiya Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana, which has made medicines more affordable, and price regulation efforts that have reduced costs of stents and knee implants, helping many citizens. Additionally, medical education has become more accessible due to the establishment of more institutions and increased seat availability across the country.
The Prime Minister reaffirmed the government's commitment to continue building on these achievements to create a healthy India, sharing these updates as part of the '#12YearsOfSwasthBharat' initiative. The statements were made through a series of posts on social media platform X on June 14, 2026, as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.
