The chief minister has also sanctioned the fixed renal and liver transplant package of ₹3 lakh under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana - Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY-AB) scheme.

State health, medical education, and research minister Dr Kamal Gupta said that with this initiative, identified patients will be able to receive critical renal and liver transplants at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) in Rohtak without worrying about the prohibitive costs.

“These decisions aim to offer life-saving medical treatments to those in dire need, ensuring no one is denied essential healthcare due to financial constraints,” Dr Gupta said.

The health minister said the introduction of this facility, for the first time in a government healthcare institution, marks a significant stride towards bridging this gap and providing comprehensive care to the most vulnerable sections of society.
