Schneider Electric rolled out its pilot project in Lucknow to spread awareness about the Government of India’s flagship healthcare programme ‘Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY’ among the region’s electricians. Schneider Electric will be conducting the project in association with National Health Agency team, which is the apex body for the implementation of PM-JAY.
Talking about the association with Schneider Electric, Dr Indu Bhushan, CEO, Ayushman BharatPradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, said, “We are happy about this unique association. One of the objectives of the scheme is to change healthcare seeking behaviour among the poor who have not been able to access quality healthcare and often fall below poverty line due to catastrophic health expenditure arising out of serious illness. This partnership with Schneider Electric will help reach out to some of the principal stakeholders and help spread the word around Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY”. Srinivas Shanbhouge, Vice President-Retail, Schneider Electric-India, said, “Schneider Electric firmly believes that all sections of the society should have access to energy as well as quality healthcare facilities. Aligned with this belief, the company has partnered with the Government of India’s flagship healthcare initiative to spread awareness among electricians about the comprehensive health insurance scheme that has started to deliver high quality healthcare to the needy.”
