So far, at least 45,000 people have enrolled themselves under KAS scheme.

SKAT plans to expand the work in rural areas by tying up with like-minded organization for maximizing benefits of the unique scheme.

"Till now this scheme is restricted only to Anand and Kheda districts (India's western Gujarat). Our own hospital takes part in this organization. As our scheme grows, we would go to rural areas and tie up with like-minded organizations there," said Pragnesh Gor, General Manager, Extension programme for Krupa scheme.

A special mobile van run by the Shri Krishna Hospital also goes door to door to spread awareness about the health care scheme and collects food grains from the families who enroll for the treatment.

This scheme also provides maternity benefits on completion of ten months of membership without any additional charges. It also covers pre-existing condition unlike other medi-claim policies.
