Telangana govt launches Arogyasri health cards for children without parents
Hyderabad, May 17 (UNI) In a heartwarming initiative, Telangana Women and Child Welfare Minister Dr Danasari Anasuya Seethakka on Saturday distributed Arogyasri health cards to orphaned children for the first time in the state. The event, held at Tourism Plaza in Begumpet, marked a significant leap toward inclusive healthcare for vulnerable children. Minister Seethakka, who was the chief guest at the event, was warmly welcomed by children from Shishu Vihar who presented her with a plant. In an emotional moment, the Minister embraced the children, showering them with affection and kisses, symbolising the government's commitment to act as a guardian for those without families. Calling the move a 'revolutionary decision,' Minister Seethakka said, 'All children without parents are government children. We are now their family. By issuing Arogyasri cards, we're not just offering medical security but also showing that they are not alone.' The Arogyasri cards will enable orphaned children to access free treatment worth up to Rs 10 lakh in corporate hospitals, covering a wide range of health issues. This landmark measure aims to alleviate the healthcare struggles faced by orphans and provide them with a safety net equivalent to that of a supportive family. Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar, MP Anil Kumar Yadav, Hyderabad Mayor Gadwala Vijayalakshmi, Deputy Mayor Mote Srilatha, and Hyderabad Collector Anudeep Durshetty participated in the distribution ceremony. Women and child welfare secretary Anita Ramachandran and director Kanti Wesley were also present. The ministers handed out the health cards to children under the care of daycare centres, with many officials expressing joy at being able to serve as 'parents' in the absence of biological ones. 'When children lose their parents and have no one to support them, it becomes the government's moral responsibility to step in,' said Seethakka. The event also included games and entertainment for the children, creating a festive and supportive atmosphere. In a touching gesture, Minister Seethakka was seen feeding a child lovingly, further underscoring her emotional connection to the cause. UNI VV PRS
