With the aim to attain 100 percent coverage of beneficiaries under the Meghalaya Health Insurance Scheme (MHIS) in all villages of the district, the Deputy Commissioner of East Jaintia Hills, Abhilash Baranwal, today launched the Mission MHIS Advocacy Intensification and Capturing Outliers (MAVIC Mission).
Baranwal in his address stated that most villages in the district have not achieved 100 percent coverage under MHIS due to which the district administration has decided to launch this initiative by engaging youth volunteers from different villages.
The DC informed that, in the first phase of the project, 32 villages have been selected for the intensification drive and he also thanked the volunteers for taking the initiative to work for a noble cause.
The mission is a two-week intensification drive wherein youth volunteers of the selected villages with low MHIS coverage/smart card registration will carry out door-to-door MHIS registration for all the target beneficiaries so as to achieve 100 percent coverage.
Volunteers who achieve 100 percent coverage of target beneficiaries in their villages will be paid Rs 20 per card and those with less than 100 percent coverage will be paid Rs10 per card as an incentive.
