Perambalur is one of Tamil Nadu’s smaller districts, known for its largely rural landscape, farming communities, and steadily improving public-health services. With most of the population living outside the main town, access to affordable hospital care becomes a major concern for families, especially during medical emergencies or when surgeries are needed.

This is where the Ayushman Bharat PMJAY scheme plays a vital role.

PMJAY in Perambalur: What Residents Need to Know

PMJAY (Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana) provides ₹5 lakh per family per year for cashless hospital care. This includes surgeries, treatments, pre- and post-hospitalisation expenses, and several specialty procedures.

Because Perambalur has a modest number of multispecialty hospitals, PMJAY becomes a crucial support system for low-income households, ensuring that cost is not a barrier when immediate care is needed.
