AI SummaryUttar Pradesh government has launched Gambhir Bimari Sahayata Yojana 2026 for registered construction workers who are not covered under Ayushman Bharat. This scheme gives financial help for the treatment of serious illnesses. Workers registered under the UP Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board can get the cost of their treatment reimbursed in recognised hospitals.
This scheme works as a safety net for construction workers who face heavy treatment costs. Anyone who is a registered worker under the UP BOCW Welfare Board and does not have coverage from Ayushman Bharat or Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana can get support. Treatment is covered at any government hospital, an autonomous government institution, or a hospital empanelled by the National Health Authority or SACHIS.
Gambhir Bimari Sahayata Yojana - Overview
Gambhir Bimari Sahayata Yojana gives full reimbursement of an amount equal to the benefit payable under Ayushman Bharat for treatment in government hospitals or SACHIS empanelled hospitals. The scheme has no fixed upper limit on the money that can be given, so the full treatment cost can be covered. For surgery, an advance amount can also be paid to the hospital once the hospital gives a cost estimate.
The scheme covers a wide range of serious health conditions, including heart, kidney and liver transplants, cancer treatment and surgery, brain surgery, knee replacement, eye surgery and HIV AIDS treatment. It also covers all the diseases that come under Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana and Mukhya Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana.
