The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Bhagwant Mann government in Punjab has announced what it calls the largest health care scheme in the state’s history—the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana. Under this initiative, each family in Punjab will be eligible for ₹10 lakh worth of free health insurance, doubling the previous benefit limit of ₹5 lakh provided under existing schemes.

Key Features of the Scheme:

₹10 lakh free health insurance per family, including the existing ₹5 lakh cover plus an additional ₹5 lakh

Free and cashless treatment available across all government and private hospitals

No paperwork hassles and no cap on the number of family members

Mukh Mantri Sehat Card will be provided to ensure smooth and quick access to medical care

The announcement has been widely shared by AAP's Official Handels

According to the government, the scheme is aimed at ensuring that no citizen is denied quality healthcare due to financial constraints. By significantly expanding the insurance cover and removing bureaucratic barriers, the Mann government seeks to make health services truly accessible and universal in Punjab.

The announcement has been widely shared by AAP’s official handles, projecting it as a transformative step in public health and a milestone in the party’s governance model. 

The Punjab government has stated that the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana will be applicable in both government and empanelled private hospitals, ensuring access to a wide range of medical services without financial burden. The scheme is designed to benefit every household in Punjab, irrespective of income, caste, or occupation. Officials also clarified that there will be no complex documentation process, and the number of beneficiaries per family will not be restricted, making the scheme inclusive and practical for joint families and rural households.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann emphasized that health is a basic right, not a luxury, and reiterated the government’s commitment to building a welfare-driven model where citizens no longer have to sell property or borrow money for medical treatment.

 He added that the scheme will not only provide financial protection but also strengthen Punjab’s healthcare infrastructure, reduce out-of-pocket expenses, and create confidence in public health systems. This initiative is expected to especially benefit the underprivileged, daily wage earners, and those in remote areas where access to quality healthcare has historically been limited.
