In a statement, the health minister said around 50,000 sehat cards are being issued every day through widespread enrolment drives conducted across villages, towns, and cities.

He said 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 Yojana, 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.

To maximise outreach and ensure ease of access, the Punjab government is organising daily enrolment camps from 8am to 4 pm at accessible community locations. These camps are designed to simplify the registration process, particularly for individuals who may face challenges in accessing formal centres independently.
