Explanation:

In order to improve the delivery of public health services in the state, the government of Haryana has launched “Nirogi Haryana” scheme on the lines of similar scheme working satisfactorily in other states.

The “Nirogi Haryana” scheme was launched by President of India Droupadi Murmu in Kurukshetra.

In the first phase of the “Nirogi Haryana” scheme, 98,13,214 members of 24,75,380 Antodaya families would be provided intensive health check-up free of cost.

For the systematic check-up of all Antyodya families in the first phase, six categories have been identified as per various age groups. Comprehensive health check-up and other tests will be performed as per age-related categories to rule out/screen communicable/non-communicable diseases. All beneficiaries will be assessed on over 25 parameters. If any disease is detected/diagnosed, further investigation and treatment will be provided free of cost.

It is worth mentioning here that the chief minister of Haryana had recently announced that the families with income less than 1.80 lakh per annum (Antyodya families) would be provided with the facility of medical examination free of cost across the state.
