Newly Added Ayushman Bharat Hospital List

Why New Hospitals are Added to the PMJAY Network

The Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) is a dynamic and continuously expanding healthcare ecosystem. Throughout 2025, the National Health Authority (NHA) is constantly adding new government and private hospitals to the network to enhance accessibility and quality of care for beneficiaries. This page serves as your guide to understanding this expansion and finding the latest healthcare facilities offering free and cashless treatment up to ₹5 lakh per family per year.

These newly empanelled hospitals are equipped to provide a wide range of services, including advanced cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, general surgery, and maternity care, ensuring that the latest and best treatment options are available to Ayushman Card holders across India.

Why is the PMJAY Hospital Network Constantly Growing?

The continuous addition of new hospitals is a core objective of the PMJAY mission. The primary reasons for this expansion are:

• Improving Geographic Reach: To bring quality healthcare closer to beneficiaries, especially in remote, rural, and underserved areas, reducing the need for long-distance travel.
• Adding Specialized Services: Empanelling hospitals with super-speciality departments (e.g., advanced cancer centers, pediatric heart surgery units) to ensure a wider range of treatments are available under the scheme.
• Enhancing Patient Choice: A larger network gives beneficiaries more options to choose from, promoting competition and improving the overall quality of care.
• Reducing Wait Times: More hospitals help to distribute the patient load, reducing waiting periods for popular procedures at existing facilities.

How to Find the Latest Empanelled Hospitals

The official NHA portal is the most reliable source for real-time information on newly added hospitals. Here’s how you can check:

1. Visit the official PMJAY Hospital Search Portal.
2. Select your 'State' and 'District' from the dropdown menus.
3. The portal has filter options that can sometimes be used to sort by empanelment date. However, the most reliable method is to periodically check the list for your district to see if new names have appeared.
4. New additions are often announced by state health agencies, so keep an eye on local health department news.

The Quality Assurance of New Hospitals

What Does "Empanelled" Mean?

For a hospital to be "empanelled," it must undergo a rigorous verification process. The NHA and State Health Agencies have strict criteria that a hospital must meet to be included in the PMJAY network. This ensures that beneficiaries receive care in facilities that meet a minimum standard of quality and safety. Key criteria often include the availability of a minimum number of beds, qualified medical staff, essential infrastructure, and the capacity to provide cashless services.
