Health scheme for the poor [1]

The State government is contemplating introduction of a comprehensive health insurance scheme for the poor.

Though the State boasts world-class medical facilities, they were being availed by the rich owing to the high costs involved. “We have world-class treatment available, but only the rich people are availing themselves of it. The government is seriously thinking of making these facilities available to all,” Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said. The scheme would form part of the one-year programme to be announced by his government soon.
