Purpose of the Madhya Pradesh State Illness Assistance Fund
The State Illness Assistance Fund was established in Madhya Pradesh to offer financial grants to individuals living below the poverty line who require complex surgical procedures, either within or outside the state. The government initiated this program to protect impoverished citizens suffering from 13 critical ailments that necessitate surgery and ongoing care. This fund was seeded with a grant of Rs. 10 crores, held securely in nationalized banking institutions.
Covered Medical Conditions and Scheme Details
Under this initiative, financial support is extended to BPL families facing severe health issues that require medical or surgical intervention. Grants are approved by the designated committee or, in urgent cases, by the Minister of Health & Family Welfare. Assistance ranges from a minimum of Rs. 25,000 to a maximum of Rs. 2,00,000, with payments issued directly to the healthcare provider. This benefit is limited to a single family member on a one-time basis within the 2 lakh rupee threshold. Coverage applies to recognized hospitals both inside and outside the state, while cancer-related treatments are specifically facilitated through the JLN Cancer Hospital in Bhopal.
