Ayushman Bhav Campaign was launched by Hon’ble President of India on 13th September, 2023. Ayushman Bhav Campaign envisages saturation of select health care services in every village/ town aligned with Hon’ble Prime Minister’s commitment to ensure last mile reach and enabling access to health care services to everyone in the society. ‘Ayushman Bhav’ campaign involves the following set of interventions:

1. ‘Ayushman – Apke Dwar 3.0’ includes achieving Ayushman card saturation at the individual level, printing and distributing Ayushman cards to Field Level Workers for further delivery, and launching a nationwide Ayushman card delivery campaign. The campaign involves collaboration with health, Panchayati Raj, and rural development departments, seeking the support of ASHA workers, Front Line Workers (FLWs), and Self-Help Groups.
