The "Golden Hour" after a road accident is critical, but many victims die or face financial ruin because they can’t afford immediate, high-quality medical treatment. The government launched PM-RAHAT to provide cashless treatment up to ₹1.5 lakh for 7 days at 36,000+ hospitals, using a digital system (eDAR) to link police and medical reports. Victims get instant life-saving care without upfront payment, reducing deaths and protecting families from sudden medical debt.
