Mumbai North MP Sanjay Nirupam celebrated his birthday by giving free health insurance cover to five lakh poor people
Mumbai North MP Sanjay Nirupam celebrated his 46th birthday by giving free health insurance cover to five lakh poor people in the constituency.
According to Mumbai North Congress president Ashok Sutrale, the idea of such a unique scheme occurred to Nirupam in view of the growing cost of medical treatment, both in the private and public sectors, especially for delivery-related problems among women.
The scheme has been launched in collaboration with Oriental Insurance Co Ltd.
As per the plans, 500,000 people, comprising one lakh families, would be covered under a Rs.30,000 per annum mediclaim policy.
Nirupam distributed the policies to thousands at a mega birthday bash held in Borivli suburb in his constituency.
