33 Lakh Cards To Reach Districts Soon
CHANDIGARH: The distribution of Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana cards is set to pick up pace across Punjab, with around 33 lakh cards expected to be available in districts shortly, as the state government works towards covering all eligible beneficiaries.
Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr. Balbir Singh said around 31 lakh Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana cards had already reached the districts, while another 2 lakh cards were expected soon.
Beneficiaries will be informed in advance about the camps. ASHA workers, ASHA facilitators, Sehat Mitras and other field staff will be deployed to mobilise beneficiaries and ensure maximum participation.
The remaining cards are expected to be distributed through the door-to-door mechanism within two weeks after completion of the camp-based exercise. The State Health Agency has already supplied districts with cards and information, education and communication (IEC) material, including card jackets, envelopes and brochures.
The state government aims to complete the Yojana card distribution across Punjab within the stipulated period, with the focus on ensuring that eligible beneficiaries are not left out.
