Swasthya Sathi Scheme in West Bengal Budget 2024-25
On 8th February 2024, Finance Minister presented West Bengal Budget 2024-25. While presenting the WB Budget 2024-25, FM said "Under the flagship 'Swasthya Sathi Scheme', 2.45 crore families all over the State are covered at present. A total of 2,749 hospitals and nursing homes are enlisted under the Scheme. Since inception, more than 65 lakh beneficiaries have availed the services amounting to more than Rs. 8,600 crore in this scheme. More than 2,000 crore was incurred as scheme expenditure in 2023-24 as on 31.12.2023. Everyday around 6,000 patients avail this facility".
FM added "We have achieved remarkable progress in health care coverage through our unique Swathya Sathi Scheme. I am happy to propose extension of Swasthya Sathi Scheme for migrant workers residing outside of West Bengal registered in Karmasathi Parijayee Shramik Portal. Under the scheme, migrant workers will have access to hospital care in place of their work through insurance coverage in Swasthya Sathi. Rs. 150 crore is allocated for this purpose. More than 28 lakh migrant workers will be benefited".
The hon'ble FM further added that "Surprisingly, the extension of Ayushman Bharat Scheme for ASHA and ICDS workers in this year's budget of the Central Government has come very late in the day. Under the guidance and inspiration of our Hon'ble Chief Minister, our State has already provided Swasthya Sathi coverage to all ASHA and ICDS workers since 2017".
