Nearly 1.05 crore households can get access to healthcare entirely free of cost through the "Universal Health Card" to be linked to Aadhaar card, he said.
In line with the 'Modicare' of the central government, Siddaramaiah had announced during the Budget presentation last month that Karnataka, too, would soon provide healthcare for all.
The state Budget, however, did not mention the funds for the scheme's implementation.
As mentioned in the Budget, the scheme is expected to be implemented in the entire state by December.
