Narayana Health Introduces Aditi: Affordable Health Insurance Revolution

Narayana Health unveils 'Aditi' to address India's significant surgical needs. This pilot health insurance aims to cover families affordably, initially offering Rs 5 lakh in treatment costs and Rs 1 crore for surgeries. Launching first in select regions, Aditi seeks to make quality healthcare accessible nationwide.

In a bold move to address India's critical surgical care gap, Narayana Health has launched its first health insurance product, 'Aditi,' revealed Dr. Devi Shetty, chairman of Narayana Health.

Dr. Shetty emphasized that the current health landscape demands substantial improvements, not only in treating diseases like malaria, TB, and HIV but also in delivering essential surgical procedures. 'Aditi,' introduced as a pilot in Mysuru, Mandya, and Chamraj Nagar, will soon extend its reach to Bengaluru, with broader ambitions for nationwide implementation.

Viren Prasad Shetty, vice-chairman of Narayana Hrudayalaya Ltd., outlined that 'Aditi,' with an annual premium of Rs 10,000, aims to cover a family of four. The insurance product is designed to ensure accessibility, with coverage of up to Rs 5 lakh for treatments and Rs 1 crore for surgeries, markedly lower than traditional insurance rates. The initiative is set to revolutionize the healthcare sector by offering inclusive and managed care within the Narayana Health network.
