The Haryana government announced a scheme that will provide cashless medical care exceeding ₹1 lakh to victims of road accidents.
The state of Haryana has introduced a new health initiative aimed at road accident victims. Under the scheme, patients involved in traffic collisions will be eligible for cashless medical treatment valued at more than ₹1 lakh. The announcement was reported by the Hindustan Times, highlighting the government's effort to alleviate the financial strain on accident survivors.
The cashless facility is expected to be available through government hospitals and empanelled private medical centers, allowing patients to receive care without upfront payment. Details on the enrollment process and documentation requirements are being finalized by the health department.
By providing substantial coverage, the scheme seeks to improve access to timely treatment and reduce out-of-pocket expenses for those injured in road incidents. Officials indicated that the initiative aligns with broader health and safety objectives of the state.
The policy will come into effect shortly, with the health ministry coordinating its rollout across Haryana's districts. Beneficiaries will be able to avail the cashless service once the necessary infrastructure is in place.
The move has been welcomed by patient advocacy groups, who view it as a positive step toward better healthcare support for accident victims in the region.
