Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has approved the launch of the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna in January, offering cashless treatment of up to Rs 10 lakh to every family in the state. This scheme aims to provide universal healthcare without any financial burden on the people. It will make Punjab the first state in India to offer cashless medical treatment of Rs 10 lakh to each family.
The initiative is a significant step towards ensuring financial protection and access to quality healthcare for all eligible residents of Punjab. Under this scheme, enrolled families can avail cashless medical treatment up to Rs 10 lakh annually. The coverage includes major illnesses, critical care, surgeries, and life-saving treatments at a network of government and private hospitals in Punjab and Chandigarh.
The primary goal of the scheme is to facilitate cashless and paperless healthcare services at designated hospitals, reducing out-of-pocket expenses for secondary and tertiary healthcare. It also aims to enhance access to healthcare services in both urban and rural areas, offering grievance redressal and beneficiary support through digital platforms. The scheme covers various expenses such as hospitalization costs, surgeries, ICU services, diagnostics, medicines, and pre-and post-hospitalization expenses.
