Kanchipuram, known for its silk, temples, and culture, is also quietly becoming one of Tamil Nadu’s growing healthcare hubs. Located close to Chennai, the district enjoys access to both metropolitan medical expertise and district-level healthcare initiatives.
Through the Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), residents here can receive cashless medical treatment worth up to ₹5 lakh per family each year, covering a wide range of illnesses and procedures.
This article explores the PMJAY hospital network in Kanchipuram, its medical infrastructure, key treatments available, and how this national scheme is shaping local healthcare outcomes.
PMJAY and Tamil Nadu’s Healthcare Ecosystem
The PMJAY scheme, when integrated with Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister’s Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme (CMCHIS), forms one of India’s most efficient health protection systems. Together, these programs cover over 1.5 crore families across Tamil Nadu, ensuring that even small towns like Uthiramerur, Walajabad, and Sriperumbudur have access to advanced medical care without financial barriers.
In Kanchipuram, PMJAY operates through a network of empanelled hospitals, both government and private, offering specialized care in cardiology, nephrology, oncology, orthopaedics, obstetrics, and more.

Conditions Commonly Treated Under PMJAY
Kanchipuram’s PMJAY network covers over 1,500 medical packages, addressing both routine and complex conditions. The most frequently utilized categories include:
1. Cardiology and Heart Surgeries
With the rise in lifestyle-related diseases, cardiac procedures like angioplasty, bypass surgery, and pacemaker implantation are increasingly common. PMJAY ensures that these costly interventions remain accessible even to low-income families.
2. Kidney and Dialysis Care
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is growing in Tamil Nadu due to diabetes and hypertension. PMJAY provides unlimited dialysis sessions at empanelled hospitals — a crucial support for patients who need lifelong treatment.
3. Maternity and Neonatal Services
PMJAY covers normal delivery, C-section, and neonatal intensive care, ensuring safer childbirth experiences for mothers, especially in rural parts of Kanchipuram.
4. Oncology (Cancer) Treatments
Cancer care is available under PMJAY through empanelled hospitals that provide chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical oncology. Tamil Nadu has one of the highest numbers of cancer claims processed under the scheme nationally.
5. Orthopaedics and Trauma Care
From fracture fixation to joint replacements, PMJAY in Kanchipuram covers major orthopaedic procedures — especially beneficial in road accident cases that require immediate hospitalization.
Kanchipuram’s Healthcare Snapshot
To understand the healthcare landscape better, let’s look at some recent data and trends:

These figures, drawn from Tamil Nadu Health Systems Project reports, show the growing utilization of PMJAY as families become more aware of their entitlements.

Local Health Insights – Kanchipuram’s Strengths & Needs
Kanchipuram’s proximity to Chennai gives it access to tertiary referral centres, but local infrastructure is also expanding rapidly.
The district’s Primary Health Centres (PHCs) handle preventive and maternal care, while urban hospitals focus on specialized treatments.
According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5):
- 96% of births in Kanchipuram are institutional deliveries — among the highest in Tamil Nadu.
- Over 70% of households report using public or government-supported health facilities.
- Common health burdens include hypertension, diabetes, and renal conditions.
These data reflect a strong integration of public health schemes and rising healthcare literacy among residents.
Government Initiatives Improving Healthcare
The Tamil Nadu government continues to upgrade facilities in Kanchipuram through initiatives like:
- District Diagnostic Centres (DDCs): Offering free scans and lab tests.
- Telemedicine Services: For remote consultations in Uthiramerur and Walajabad blocks.
- PMJAY & CMCHIS Integration: Reducing claim delays through unified data platforms.
- Emergency Response Units: Ensuring rapid ambulance coverage under 108 service.
Such measures complement PMJAY’s hospital network, creating a 360-degree support system for both preventive and curative care.
Beyond Treatment: Building Health Awareness
Kanchipuram’s healthcare journey isn’t only about hospital admissions. Awareness campaigns run by health volunteers, women’s self-help groups, and local NGOs are helping families understand the value of early diagnosis and regular screenings.
For instance:
- PHCs conduct regular blood pressure and diabetes camps.
- Schools organize anemia detection drives among adolescent girls.
- Local temples often host free eye and dental check-ups, linking beneficiaries to PMJAY or CMCHIS if further care is needed.
This combination of tradition and health awareness has made Kanchipuram an example of how rural health can thrive when supported by consistent government initiatives.
Conclusion
The PMJAY hospital network in Kanchipuram reflects Tamil Nadu’s strong commitment to universal healthcare. By connecting government and private hospitals under a single umbrella, the scheme ensures that financial limitations never delay treatment.
From major cardiac surgeries to maternal care, PMJAY has become a dependable safety net for thousands of families across the district.
