India healthcare scheme and infrastructure developments

Overview

Union Minister JP Nadda has been overseeing the expansion and implementation of India’s national health initiatives. In September 2026, the Aarogya Manthan event was held to mark milestones for the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) and the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). The AB PM-JAY program has reportedly covered over 60 crore beneficiaries and recently expanded to include all senior citizens aged 70 and above.

By October 2026, the focus shifted toward institutional implementation and infrastructure. During a review of RML Hospital in New Delhi, Nadda advocated for the stronger integration of the ABDM through electronic prescriptions and digital services. He also emphasized the need for improved infrastructure planning, mental health support for medical staff and students, and the use of Project SARATHI to assist patients in navigating hospital services.
