The National Health Authority (NHA) has officially concluded a significant two-day national review meeting held in New Delhi. The gathering was focused on evaluating the current progress and future operational strategies for two of the country's primary healthcare programs: the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) and the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM).
