CHANDIGARH: A medical emergency rarely comes with a warning, often pushing families into distress not just due to health concerns but also the burden of treatment costs. To address this challenge, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann introduced the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna with a clear objective of ensuring that families across Punjab can access timely healthcare without worrying about financial constraints.
The Bhagwant Mann Government’s commitment is being realised through the rollout of the Sehat Card, which is providing financial protection and instilling confidence among families across the state. Around 50,000 Sehat Cards are being issued every day through widespread enrolment drives conducted across villages, towns, and cities.
The scheme has already facilitated more than 2 lakh treatments, including critical procedures such as cancer care, cardiac interventions, and orthopaedic surgeries. Under the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna, families are entitled to cashless treatment of up to ₹10 lakh annually at both government and empanelled private hospitals, ensuring that no patient delays treatment due to financial limitations or the need to arrange funds in emergencies.
Providing a clear roadmap for citizens, the Punjab Government has also outlined a simple six-step process for registration. Residents can directly visit a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC), government enrolment camp, or Seva Kendra without any prior appointment. Applicants are required to carry essential documents such as Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, and birth certificates for minors, ensuring that all family members, who must be residents of Punjab, are covered under the scheme.
The scheme provides a shared annual coverage of ₹10 lakh per family, making it crucial for families to register all members together. At the registration point, officials assist in completing the process, following which beneficiaries receive an SMS confirming activation of their Sehat Card benefits. To maximise outreach and ensure ease of access, the Punjab Government is organising daily enrolment camps from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM at accessible community locations, including Gurudwaras, Panchayat Ghars, temples, and community centres.
Additionally, residents are advised to carry supporting documents such as Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, Smart Ration Card if available, and J-Form for farmers where applicable, to facilitate smooth registration. Reaffirming its commitment to accessible and affordable healthcare, the Punjab Government continues to encourage residents to enrol for the Sehat Card through designated centres and on-ground camps, ensuring that every family can avail cashless treatment benefits under the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna.
