DIMAPUR — The Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) of 29 Jangpetkong Assembly Constituency (AC), in collaboration with the Department of Health and Family Welfare, began the week-long beneficiary identification drive (BIS) for AB-PMJAY CMHIS (Chief Minister Health Insurance Scheme) in the whole constituency on Friday.
The special drive is being sponsored by MLA and advisor of Transport and Technical Education, Temjenmenba, and supervised by the NDPP 29 Jangpetkong AC office, stated an update from media and publicity cell.
Speaking at the kick-off programme in Chungliyimsen village, president of NDPP 29 Jangpetkong AC, Aodangnok, stated that the special drive was initiated keeping in mind the health and wellbeing of the constituency people. He added that the CMHIS, which is a flagship programme of the NDPP initiated by Chief Minister, Neiphiu Rio, envisaged providing health insurance to the people of the state.
Aodangnok has appreciated the MLA and advisor, Temjenmenba, for prioritising development and welfare of the people and for sponsoring the special drive. He also appreciated the department of Health and Family Welfare for collaborating with the NDPP and reaching out to the villagers who could not come to register their names.
Pointing out the unpredictable nature of a person’s health, Aodangnok informed that once a person registers as a beneficiary, the scheme would come as a great relief in covering the medical expenses during hospitalisation. He, therefore, urged all the citizens in the constituency to avail the opportunity and register their names and get their health insurance benefits.
It informed that a team of NDPP and the medical department personnel from the CMO office, Mokokchung, will be camping in the Assembly Constituency for one week to ensure that every entitled beneficiary is covered during the special drive.
