One year of PMJAY: Govt looks at incentives to close gender gap in heart surgery data -Abantika Ghosh

-The Indian Express

Traditional wisdom is that because women are less likely to be breadwinners, especially in families of limited means (who are primarily the targeted PMJAY beneficiaries), families are more reluctant to pay for their treatment.

One year into Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), heart surgery data from the tertiary care arm of Ayushman Bharat show a gender skew, with women comprising just 29 per cent of total hospital admissions in the country for cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (CTVS) procedures. The National Health Authority (NHA) is looking at incentives such as paying for transportation cost of women patients to close the gap.

Of the 15,168 hospital admissions under PMJAY across India, 10,744 were men and 4,421 women. States such as Tripura (13.33%) and Karnataka (23.45%) are lower than the national average, while the best figure is from matrilineal Meghalaya, where 65% of the total 35 heart surgeries under PMJAY were done on women.
