Biocon Foundation and Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital in partnership with
Ujjivan Financial Services launched the Arogya Raksha Yojana Clinic at
Viveknagar. This Clinic, which is a part of the Arogya Raksha Yojana
Health Micro Insurance Scheme, will provide free outpatient consulting,
low cost generic medicines from the Hrudayalaya Pharmacy; lab testing
and preventive health education workshops for Ujjivan customers under
the ARY Program. This is the first of the three clinics planned to be
opened in Bangalore serving Ujjivan's urban poor micro finance
customers.
Arogya Raksha Yojana is a health micro insurance scheme designed to
provide quality healthcare at affordable rates to under served
communities in rural and urban areas. The scheme was launched in
February 2005 by Biocon Foundation and Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital
(Arogya Raksha Yojana Trust) in collaboration with ICICI Lombard
General Insurance Company. The scheme which is now being launched in
Bangalore City slums will provide health care and insurance for
Ujjivan's micro finance customers in Viveknagar and Jakkasandra.
