The government of India has shown its commitment towards strengthening the healthcare eco-system in the country by increasing the investments to 2.5 per cent," Bhushan said in a conference at the 25th edition of Medical Fair India (MFI) 2019 held in Delhi.

"The Ayushman Bharat has received tremendous response in the initial phases. We have completed 150 days and have issued two crore cards. We will be completing five months tomorrow," he said. He said 15,000 hospitals have joined the movement of which, 15 per cent are private hospitals.
