The initiative underscores the party’s commitment to providing free healthcare services for the elderly, ensuring dignity and care for one of society’s most vulnerable groups.

Healthcare Revolution for the Elderly

The ‘Sanjeev Yojana’ aims to provide comprehensive healthcare solutions to senior citizens across Delhi, enabling them to access essential medical services without financial burdens. “This initiative is a reflection of our dedication to equitable healthcare for all,” said Mr. Kejriwal. “Our senior citizens deserve care and support in their golden years, and this scheme is our promise to them.”

A Model for Inclusive Healthcare

The launch of ‘Sanjeev Yojana’ sets a benchmark for inclusive and compassionate governance. “Healthcare is not just a service; it’s a right. This initiative reaffirms our commitment to building a society where every individual, irrespective of their economic standing, can access quality healthcare,” Mr. Kejriwal added.

Strengthening Healthcare Infrastructure

This scheme aligns with the broader vision of improving Delhi’s healthcare infrastructure, ensuring that the elderly population receives timely care. By prioritizing the health of senior citizens, the AAP government aims to set a precedent for other states to emulate.
