The Supreme Court on Friday halted a Delhi High Court order from December directing the Delhi government to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Centre by January 5 for implementing the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission, or PM-ABHIM, in the capital, reported Live Law.

A bench of Justices BR Gavai and Augustine George Masih issued the stay and sought a response from the Centre on the Delhi government’s challenge to the High Court ruling.

The PM-ABHIM scheme aims to strengthen healthcare infrastructure. The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, or PM-JAY, is a health insurance scheme that is a component of the Ayushman Bharat initiative.
