AI to flag irregularities in PM-JAY processing in Gujarat

To curb the misuse of the PM-JAY (Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana) following the infamous Khyati hospital row in Ahmedabad, Gujarat government has decided to take the assistance of AI to flag irregularities. If any forged or fake documents of patients are found, AI will detect it.

After the Khyati hospital scam, where the hospital misused the PM-JAY to fraudulently obtain money and mistreated patients by conducting unnecessary surgeries, the system is set to incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) to prevent such misuses.

Currently, in Gujarat, the PM-JAY implementation and all related procedures are done manually, which increases the chances of misuse. Taking this into consideration, the State Health Department will adopt a portal similar to the National Health Agency of Delhi, where all work is done using AI.

With this system in place, fake, incomplete, or non-compliant documents will be flagged immediately.

After the Khyati hospital incident in Gujarat, a total of 18,184 complaints were registered across India under the PM-JAY.
