“The modalities are very simple as long as you are a resident of the state; as long as you have one surgical need or the other, you are free to walk into any of our state or general hospitals and enrol on the insurance scheme.
“The doctors there will assess you if it is a case that is ready for surgery and once all other parameters have been concluded, we will get the surgery done,” he said.
