Which of the following is the largest pan-India scheme to strengthen health care infrastructure across the country with focus on primary, secondary and tertiary care services?

The correct answer is PM-ABHIM (Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission).

Let us analyze each option to understand why PM-ABHIM is the correct answer:

Step 1: Understand what the question is asking
The question asks for the largest pan-India scheme specifically designed to strengthen health care infrastructure across the country, with a focus on primary, secondary, and tertiary care services.

Step 2: Eliminate incorrect options

LaQshya — This is a government initiative focused specifically on improving the quality of care in Labour rooms and Maternity Operation Theatres. It is not a broad infrastructure mission, so it does not fit.

AB-PMJAY (Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana) — This is a flagship health insurance/financial protection scheme providing coverage of up to ₹5 lakh per family per year for hospitalisation expenses. It is focused on health coverage and financing, not infrastructure development.

PM-MI (Pradhan Mantri – Muft Ilaj / or similar) �� This does not correspond to a major pan-India health infrastructure scheme of national scale.

Step 3: Confirm PM-ABHIM as the correct answer

PM-ABHIM (Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission) was launched on 25th October 2021 by the Government of India. Key facts:

• It is one of the largest pan-India health infrastructure missions ever undertaken in the country.
• It aims to fill critical gaps in public health infrastructure across urban and rural areas.
• It has a total outlay of approximately ₹64,180 crore over 5 years (2021–2026).
• It comprehensively covers all three tiers of health care:
    — Primary care: Establishment of Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs) at block and village levels.
    — Secondary care: Strengthening district hospitals and sub-divisional hospitals.
    — Tertiary care: Setting up new medical colleges, critical care hospital blocks, and national institutions like AIIMS.
• It also focuses on building capacity for disease surveillance, diagnostics, and pandemic preparedness through the Integrated Health Information Platform (IHIP).

Conclusion:
PM-ABHIM is clearly the most comprehensive and largest pan-India scheme addressing health care infrastructure at all levels — primary, secondary, and tertiary — making it the definitive correct answer to this question.
