JIPMER is organizing the "Freedom from Illness Campaign" from 16 July to 15 August 2026 to promote the Government of India's flagship healthcare initiatives under the Ayushman Bharat Programme and the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM).
The campaign aims to facilitate the free registration and on-the-spot generation of ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) Numbers, Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) Cards, and Ayushman Vay Vandana Cards for eligible beneficiaries.
The registration drive will be conducted daily from 6.30 AM to 4.00 PM.
To ensure easy access, JIPMER has established multiple registration counters at various locations across the hospital campus, enabling patients, attendants and members of the public to conveniently avail these services while visiting the Institute.
During the campaign, trained personnel at the registration counters will assist eligible beneficiaries in verifying eligibility, creating ABHA Numbers, generating PM-JAY and Ayushman Vay Vandana Cards, and providing guidance regarding the schemes. The entire registration process is completely free of cost, and eligible beneficiaries can receive their cards on the spot after successful verification.
JIPMER invites all patients, attendants, visitors and members of the general public to make full use of this month-long campaign and enroll in these important Government healthcare initiatives. By obtaining an ABHA Number and the applicable Ayushman Bharat cards, beneficiaries can access digital health services, cashless hospitalization benefits and improved healthcare security for themselves and their families.
