Chief Minister-gi Hakshelgi Tengbang — CMHT

Cashless health cover up to ₹2 lakh a year for Manipur's poor and SECC-identified families, at district hospitals, medical colleges and empanelled private hospitals.

What this scheme offers

Launched on 21 January 2018, CMHT is Manipur's dedicated health assurance scheme for households identified through the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC). Eligible families receive a health card giving cashless access to secondary and tertiary hospitalisation, up to ₹2 lakh per family per year, at 9 district hospitals (including the 2 medical colleges, RIMS and JNIMS), the Community Health Centre at Wangoi, and other empanelled private hospitals. In case of critical ailments, beneficiaries are also eligible for a daily allowance during hospitalisation. Persons with disabilities are additionally covered under a linked scheme, Chief Minister-gi Shotharabasingi Tengbang (CMST), which provides a caregiver/maintenance allowance, disability scholarships, subsidised self-employment loans with skill training, and free travel concessions.

  • Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) cardholders.
  • Persons with disabilities, and widows, with the relevant certification.
