Under which scheme, the State Government provides basic family package for hospitalisation and critical illness to vulnerable groups?

Senior Citizen Health Insurance Scheme
Mukhya Mantri State Health Care Scheme
Electronic Health Care Scheme
None of the above

The correct answer is: B. Mukhya Mantri State Health Care Scheme

The Mukhya Mantri State Health Care Scheme (MMSHCS) is a government-sponsored health insurance scheme in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The scheme provides basic family package for hospitalisation and critical illness to vulnerable groups, including families below the poverty line, families with disabled members, and families of farmers who have committed suicide.

The scheme was launched in 2014 and covers over 100 million people in the state. It provides a cover of up to Rs. 5 lakh per family per year for hospitalization and critical illness. The scheme is implemented through a network of government and private hospitals across the state.

The scheme has been successful in providing access to quality healthcare to the vulnerable sections of the population in Madhya Pradesh. It has also helped to reduce the out-of-pocket expenditure on healthcare for these families.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Option A, Senior Citizen Health Insurance Scheme, is a government-sponsored health insurance scheme for senior citizens in India. It provides a cover of up to Rs. 3 lakh per person per year for hospitalization and critical illness.
  • Option C, Electronic Health Care Scheme, is a government-sponsored scheme to promote the use of electronic health records in India. It provides financial assistance to hospitals and other healthcare providers to set up electronic health record systems.
  • Option D, None of the above, is incorrect because the Mukhya Mantri State Health Care Scheme is the only scheme that provides basic family package for hospitalisation and critical illness to vulnerable groups in Madhya Pradesh.
