Health schemes in the state The state government launched two health schemes in 2021 – the Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS) for public servants and pensioners, and Chiranjeevi Health Insurance Scheme for the general public.
Both schemes provide beneficiaries with cashless medical services at every public hospital – and most private ones – in the state.
After they were launched, footfall in the public healthcare system declined as people preferred private health services. SMS Hospital, the biggest multispecialty public health institution in the state, has seen a decline in surgeries since the launch of these schemes, according to the senior doctors of the surgery department.
