Andhra Pradesh Sanjeevani Scheme

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Andhra Pradesh Sanjeevani Scheme, also known as Andhra Pradesh Project Sanjeevani, is a preventive healthcare initiative launched by the Government of Andhra Pradesh. The initiative aims to improve the overall health of citizens through regular health screening and early disease detection. Instead of waiting for people to become seriously ill, the Government plans to identify health risks at an early stage and provide timely medical advice and treatment. This approach is expected to reduce the burden of serious illnesses and promote a healthier population across the State.

The Andhra Pradesh Sanjeevani Health Screening Scheme will be rolled out across the State from 15 August 2026. The initiative was first launched as a pilot project in July 2025 in the Kuppam Assembly constituency. After the successful pilot, the programme was expanded across the Chittoor district. Encouraged by its positive outcomes, the Government has decided to implement the scheme across Andhra Pradesh. Under the initiative, preventive health screening will be conducted through government health teams and Mobile Medical Units. The scheme also focuses on creating digital health records to help doctors monitor the health status of beneficiaries and ensure continuity of care. During the Kuppam pilot, more than 63,000 people were screened, 41 diagnostic tests were conducted, and over 6,300 high-risk individuals were identified and linked for further medical care.

One of the key objectives of the Andhra Pradesh Sanjeevani Scheme is to reduce out-of-pocket medical expenses by encouraging preventive healthcare. Citizens identified with high health risks may be referred for further treatment through the Government healthcare system. The State already provides cashless medical treatment of up to ₹25 lakh under the Dr. NTR Vaidya Seva Scheme. Project Sanjeevani is expected to complement this by helping detect diseases early so that timely treatment can be provided before medical conditions become severe.

As of now, the Andhra Pradesh Government has announced the initiative and its statewide implementation plan. However, detailed operational guidelines, eligibility criteria, and the citizen registration process have not yet been notified. This article provides the latest officially available information about the scheme, including its objectives, benefits, expected eligibility, documents, implementation process, and latest updates.
