Under this scheme, all the elderly of 60 years and above will be provided unlimited and free treatment in all government and private hospitals in Delhi. There will be no limit on treatment in this scheme, that is, the elderly will not have to bear any expenses on treatment themselves.Who can take advantage of this scheme?The benefit of Sanjeevani Yojana will be available only to the elderly aged 60 years and above living in Delhi.
