What is Ayushman Bharat and Why Does it Matter?
The Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY provides a health cover of ₹5 Lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care. For eligible families, this means the cost of surgery, surgeon’s fees, nursing care, and medications are covered by the government.
Specific Coverage: Gallbladder Stones
At our facility, we specifically facilitate the Ayushman Bharat scheme for Gallbladder (Pitta ki Pathri) surgery. This ensures that patients suffering from painful stones can access advanced medical technology without financial constraints.
Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery under Ayushman Bharat
Under the PM-JAY scheme, patients can undergo “Keyhole Surgery” for gallbladder removal. This minimally invasive technique offers several clinical advantages:
- 🛡️ Minimal Pain: Small incisions (less than 1cm) significantly reduce post-operative discomfort.
- 🏃 Quick Recovery: Most patients are back on their feet within 24 to 48 hours.
- 🔍 High Precision: HD cameras provide a magnified view for extreme surgical accuracy.
- 🧼 Lower Infection Risk: Smaller wounds mean a much lower risk of site infection.

We handle the “Pre-Authorization” by sending the surgical plan to the government via the PM-JAY portal. Once approved, your 100% cashless treatment begins.
