BENGALURU, JUNE 13, 2019 00:00 IST

In a bid to encourage doctors and staff of government hospitals to effectively implement the Ayushman Bharat - Arogya Karnataka scheme, the Health Department has decided to give 30% of the reimbursed cost as incentives over and above their salaries.

Terming this as a reward for those who work towards strengthening the State’s public health system, Health Minister Shivanand S. Patil told presspersons that the government approved this proposal recently.

“From the inception of Ayushman Bharat scheme in the State in October last year, Rs. 147 crore has been mobilised. While 50% of this amount will go towards infrastructure development in hospitals, 30% will be used to reward the staff and the remaining will go the department’s kitty,” he said.
