Rajasthan has 90 per cent health insurance coverage: CM

Rajasthan has 90% health insurance coverage as compared to the the national average of 41%, CM Ashok Gehlot said. The state government has also made medical interventions such as kidney and knee replacements free of cost at its hospitals, and this has come as a relief to the people, Gehlot said after flagging off 167 new '108-emergency ambulances'. "...Rajasthan is becoming a leading state in the country in health services. The schemes which we have been introduced here are being talked about in the country. I believe that other states and the Centre would also have to implement (such schemes)," the chief minister said.
