the Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) Bill, which was cleared by the Union Cabinet this week, came
after the Surrogacy Bill that it should have preceded. Together, the ART Bill; the Surrogacy Bill; the
amendment to the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act; and the older Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal
Diagnostic Techniques Act present a bouquet of legislation that will have a positive impact on the
reproductive rights and choices of women in India. The ART Bill to (5) _________ clinics offering fertility

up. A market projection (by Fortune Business Insights) said the size of the ART market is (8) _________ to
reach $45 billion by 2026. Among Asian countries, India’s ART market is pegged at third position. A lack of
regulation and the consequent laxity in operations drove a lot of traffic from other nations to India. This,

Undoubtedly, this also led to a (9) _________ of legal, social and ethical issues.

Directions (18-22): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it:
It has been close to 18 months since the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, launched the country-wide
implementation of Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), or the national health
protection scheme; the initial momentum has been very encouraging. The scheme is currently being
implemented in 32 of 36 States and Union Territories. It has provided 84 lakh free treatments to poor and
vulnerable patients for secondary and tertiary ailments at 22,000 empanelled hospitals, countrywide.
Under PM-JAY, there is one free treatment every three seconds and two beneficiaries verified every second.
As the scale of this scheme grows, a key area of focus is to expand the secondary and tertiary hospitals
empanelled under PM-JAY and ensure their quality and capacity while keeping the costs down. At present,
there is one government bed for every 1,844 patients and one doctor for every 11,082 patients. In the
coming years, considering 3% hospitalisation of PM-JAY-covered beneficiaries, the scheme is likely to
provide treatment to 1.5 crore patients annually. This means physical and human infrastructure capacity
would need to be augmented vastly. Conservative estimates suggest that we would need more than
150,000 additional beds, especially in Tier-2 and -3 cities. While a comprehensive long-term strategy will
focus on expanding hospital and human resources infrastructure, an effective near-term approach is
needed to improve efficiencies and bridge gaps within the existing supply and likely demand. A strong, yet
under-tapped lever for accelerating health system efficiency and bridging these gaps is mainstreaming
innovation in the Indian health system.

Q18. What is the other name for Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY)?
(a) New Health Scheme
(b) New Health Policy
(c) National Policy for Health Protection
(d) National Health Protection Scheme

Q19. Which among the following statements regarding PM-JAY is/are wrong?
(i) there are two beneficiaries verified every second
(ii) there are three free treatments every second
(a) Only (i)
(b) Only (ii)
(c) Both (i) & (ii)
(d) Neither (i) nor (ii)

Q20. What should be the key area of focus for PM-JAY?

(a) to expand the primary hospitals empanelled under PM-JAY.
(b) to achieve a target of providing treatment to 1.5 crore patients annually.
(c) to increase the secondary and tertiary hospitals enlisted under PM-JAY.
(d) to make the doctor-patient ratio 1:1

Q21. What should be the short-term approach of the said scheme?

(a) to expand hospital infrastructure
(b) to bridge gaps within the existing supply and likely demand
(c) to expand human resources infrastructure
(d) to provide free treatment for primary ailments
