<h1>Committee Recommends Expanding Ayushman Bharat PMJAY with OPD Services, Extended Medication Coverage, and AI Monitoring</h1> A parliamentary committee has advised the phased integration of essential outpatient department (OPD) services and expanded post-hospitalization medication coverage in the Ayushman Bharat PMJAY scheme. This recommendation aims to address gaps in accessible healthcare by including OPD services for chronic diseases and extending medication coverage beyond the current 15-day limit. The committee also urged the National Health Authority to implement a data-driven monitoring system to detect misuse patterns, using AI and digital tools. Additionally, the establishment of daycare cancer centers and enhanced screening for non-communicable diseases were recommended to improve healthcare access and efficiency.
