The integration of national healthcare policies at the state level is crucial for achieving universal health coverage. This article explores the immediate necessity for Kerala to fully implement the central government's Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), specifically tailored for citizens above 70 years. While Kerala operates its own state-sponsored health schemes, expanding and aligning with national frameworks provides unmatched financial security for the elderly. Facing rising medical inflation and a rapidly aging demographic, the state must prioritize accessible geriatric care, ensuring no senior citizen is left behind due to financial constraints, ultimately strengthening Kerala’s robust public health infrastructure model.
