We couldn't independently confirm this verdict against a government order or an established news source. This assessment is provisional — read it with caution.
Help us verify“Puneeth Rajkumar Heart Health Scheme - To offer subsidy to Doctors/Clinics/Nursing Home to buy DEFIBRILLATOR (AED).”
The state launched a heart-health scheme named after Puneeth Rajkumar (the "Karnataka Ratna Dr Puneeth Rajkumar Hrudaya Jyoti Yojana", 2023): a hub-and-spoke cardiac-care network with AI-assisted ECG triage, free clot-buster injections, and AEDs deployed in public places. This substantially addresses the promise, though the specific manifesto mechanism (a subsidy to doctors/clinics/nursing homes to buy AEDs) differs from what launched. Held at pending because the coverage found is non-approved; strong candidate for an on_track upgrade once an approved source is added.
To establish one Jayadeva like Heart Hospital, Kidwai like Cancer Hospital and NIMHANS type Psychiatric Hospitals in each revenue Division.
To ensure that everyone gets the medicine at a reasonable price, 10 Kasturba Aushadha Kendras in each Taluk.
To extend Rashtriya Swasthya Bhima Yojna and bring all the health schemes under one umbrella and extend it to gig workers.
