The medical education department of Madhya Pradesh has asked for all 13 government and autonomous medical and dental colleges to ensure that a medical student should be insured at the time of admission only. The Madhya Pradesh government has decided to provide cashless medical insurance in state-run medical colleges.
The decision has come after when last year a 27-year-old junior doctor died due to Covid-19. The age of medical students should be between 18 and 35 years who will be covered under the scheme- cashless it will cover 2 lakh and accidental / disability cover Rs 10 Lakh.
