💨 Abstract

The Parliamentary Committee on Health and Family Welfare has recommended incorporating the cost of medicines under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme, particularly for high-cost diseases like cancer, to ensure broader coverage across states. The government has accepted 25 out of the 45 recommendations made by the committee, but the committee has reiterated its recommendation for covering the cost of medicines, especially for long-term treatments such as cancer.
