As Delhi heads toward its upcoming assembly elections, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has rolled out several new welfare schemes, including the Sanjeevani Yojana for senior citizens, which guarantees free healthcare for elderly individuals. With the registration for this scheme now open as of December 23, 2024, many citizens are wondering whether multiple senior citizens from the same family can benefit from it. Let’s explore the eligibility and details of the scheme.
The Sanjeevani Yojana is an initiative announced by AAP for senior citizens aged 60 and above. The scheme provides free treatment at both government and private hospitals in Delhi, covering all medical expenses.
There has been a growing question among the public regarding whether two or more elderly members from the same family can take advantage of the Sanjeevani Yojana. According to the government’s guidelines, there is no restriction on the number of senior citizens from a single family who can benefit from this scheme. Any citizen aged 60 or above in the family will be eligible to receive free treatment under this plan, regardless of how many senior citizens are present in the household.
Another important aspect of the Sanjeevani Yojana is that there are no income-based restrictions. Whether the senior citizens come from affluent families or economically weaker sections, they are all entitled to free healthcare under the scheme.
The registration process for Sanjeevani Yojana has begun, and AAP workers are going door-to-door to assist senior citizens with the registration. After registration, they will receive a special card that will allow them to avail the benefits of free healthcare.
Under the scheme, all medical treatments, including hospital stays, surgeries, and medications, will be covered. Both government and private hospitals in Delhi are included in the scheme.
The Sanjeevani Yojana is a comprehensive healthcare initiative aimed at providing senior citizens in Delhi with free and accessible medical care. The lack of income limits and the ability for multiple senior citizens in the same family to benefit ensures that this scheme is inclusive and beneficial for all elderly residents of Delhi. If you or a family member is 60 or older, you can avail of this service without worrying about financial barriers.
