Perfect You want full information about Free Healthcare to all patients — I’ll explain everything clearly, covering what it means, how it works in India and what services are usually included.
✅ What is Free Healthcare?
Free healthcare means every medical service is provided at zero cost to the patient.
This includes:
- Doctor consultations
- Diagnostic tests (blood tests, X-rays, scans, etc.)
- Medicines
- Hospital stay (ward/bed/ICU)
- Surgeries (from minor to major like heart operations)

Patients do not pay anything – no bills, no hidden charges.
