The number of people renewing their health insurance in Jumla district has been declining in recent years, with nearly 56,000 people not renewing their policies. A significant portion of these are from extremely poor households, a decline attributed to the discontinuation of the government's free renewal policy for this group. Local residents cite factors like lack of medicines, long waiting lines, and hospital claim delays as reasons for lower renewals.
