Uttarakhand’s journey towards accessible and quality healthcare

Feb 23, 2025

Uttarakhand, with its majestic Himalayas and rugged terrain, is a land of beauty and challenges. Providing healthcare to its remote communities has long required innovation and resilience.However, the Uttarakhand government has been turning this challenge into an opportunity by continuously working to strengthen healthcare infrastructure and services.From upgrading hospitals with state-of-the-art facilities to ensuring every citizen benefits from government healthcare schemes, effective measures are being implemented to enhance healthcare accessibility across the state. The Uttarakhand government has effectively implemented central healthcare schemes while successfully executing its own state-level policies.These include the Ayushman Bharat Scheme, Atal Ayushman Uttarakhand Scheme, and the State Government Health Scheme, which provide free treatment and health insurance benefits to economically weaker sections of society. The effective implementation of government schemes, strategic use of digital technology, and delivery of high-quality healthcare in remote areas are strengthening Uttarakhand’s healthcare infrastructure.
