This is the work of Ayushman Mitra
The work of Ayushman Mitra in hospitals is to assist the card holder patient. If any eligible beneficiary does not have a card, then Ayushman Mitra will make the card and give it. Apart from this, assistance is to be given in the process related to treatment, medicines and investigation. So that patients do not have to wander due to lack of information. If the hospital management shows reluctance in providing treatment under Ayushman Card or takes money from the patients, then you can also complain about it to Ayushman Mitra.
