Officials said that hospitals empanelled under the scheme have reported an increase in patients seeking timely diagnosis and treatment, particularly for chronic illnesses and emergency care. This has helped reduce complications arising from delayed medical attention.
The state government has also focused on improving last-mile delivery, ensuring that rural and underserved communities are informed about the scheme and its benefits. Health workers and local administrative units are actively assisting citizens in availing treatment under the programme.
In addition to financial assistance, the scheme is part of a broader effort to strengthen Punjab’s public healthcare system. Investments are being made in upgrading government hospitals, improving diagnostic facilities, and ensuring the availability of essential medicines.
Public response to the scheme has been largely positive
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has reiterated that access to quality healthcare is a fundamental responsibility of the government. He has emphasized that policies like the Mukhyamantri Sehat Yojana reflect the state’s commitment to social justice and inclusive development.
Public response to the scheme has been largely positive, with beneficiaries stating that the initiative has provided relief during medical emergencies and reduced dependence on high-interest borrowing for treatment.
The Punjab government has maintained that it will continue monitoring the implementation of the scheme to ensure transparency, accountability, and effective service delivery, reinforcing the principle that no resident should be denied healthcare due to financial constraints.
