Bengaluru: Posing a challenge to the burgeoning private hospitals in the State, after tabling the Bill — The Karnataka Private Medical Establishments (Amendment) Bill, the State Government is planning to come out with a Health Card within three days, for all the families in the State, irrespective of their financial status.
The only criteria for total health care benefits, whether one is rich or poor, are to possess an Aadhaar card. In the Government hospitals, one can get free treatment. In case if the treatment is not available, then the same health card can be used in the private hospital for treatment. The health card entitles one to get treated for any kind of health problem, said Health and Family Welfare Minister K.R. Ramesh Kumar and this scheme will come into force in another three days, he added.
