Money Can’t Buy Health, But Sehat Card Can Secure It: Clearing Myths Around Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana

CHANDIGARH: The Bhagwant Mann Government's Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana (MMSY) has emerged as one of India’s most expansive public healthcare protection schemes, providing universal cashless medical coverage of up to ₹10 lakh per family per year across Punjab.

The scheme has expanded rapidly since rollout, with around 39 lakh Sehat Cards already issued, and enrollment continuing across districts through Camps, CSC Centres, Suvidha Kendra, and Public Entities. According to recent government updates, the programme is designed to cover around 65 lakh families, benefiting nearly 3 crore residents of Punjab.

On this, Health Minister Dr Balbir Singh said, “The Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana is a major step toward financially protected healthcare, enabling families to access critical and life-saving treatment without upfront costs. Residents are encouraged to register early to ensure uninterrupted access to cashless healthcare when needed most.”

The Health Minister informs, “The objective is to move Punjab towards a universal cashless and digitally integrated healthcare ecosystem, thus ensuring that there are no delays in treatment due to financial constraints.”
