At AIIMS, patients that are below poverty level (BPL) will be offered free diagnosis . Even life-saving medicines including crystalloids and surgical consumables will be provided free of cost upon presentation at the casualty ward. Those people who do not have BPL card can avail this facility depending on the doctors and medical socio service officers.

These all facilities are under the Prime Minister’s Ayushman Bharat flagship scheme. Source: FINANCIAL EXPRESS What is your opinion on such an initiative? Should all prime medical institutes need to provide such facilities?
