PM-JAY package list set for December 1 TMS rollout

Under Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), the National Health Authority (NHA) has prepared a list of 112 treatment packages for public hospitals, covering surgeries, day-care procedures and long-term treatment. Reports say 23 packages are already reserved, with 89 more proposed.

NHA Deputy Secretary Dr. Shailesh has written to state health authorities that the list will go live in the Transaction Management System (TMS) on December 1. Packages include cataract surgery and treatment for alcoholic liver disease.

Formal guidelines have been sent to states, but each state health authority can decide whether to remove these packages from private hospitals. State government hospitals are being assessed for doctors, specialists, equipment and clinical infrastructure.
