Terming the scheme as a game changer, he said that tertiary health care facility would be provided in the biggest ever scheme dubbed by many as ‘Modi care’.

On questions of implementation part of the scheme, he said that his ministry has prepared a ‘reference framework’ which would help the States in implementing the mega scheme.

The Minister added that issues related with the insurance companies and developing a payment system are being sorted out.
