AAP leader Anurag Dhanda on Friday said that the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government has fulfilled its commitments in the healthcare sector, calling the state’s public health system “world class” and people-centric.
Punjab’s Healthcare Transformation
In a statement, Dhanda said the Mann government has built Punjab’s healthcare model on three major pillars, aimed at ensuring accessible, affordable and quality medical care for every citizen.
He highlighted the rollout of the Punjab Health Card, under which 65 lakh families are entitled to cashless health insurance coverage of up to ₹10 lakh per family. The scheme, he said, ensures that no resident is denied treatment due to financial constraints.

Dhanda also pointed to the expansion of Aam Aadmi Clinics in every mohalla, which have significantly improved access to primary healthcare. These clinics are providing free consultations, medicines and diagnostic tests, reducing the burden on larger hospitals and saving time and money for patients.
The third pillar, he said, is the modernisation of government hospitals, with the introduction of advanced medical equipment, improved infrastructure and better facilities. According to Dhanda, these upgrades are helping strengthen secondary and tertiary healthcare services across the state.
He said the reforms reflect the AAP government’s commitment to translating promises into action. “The Mann government has shown that healthcare can be a public service, not a privilege,” Dhanda said, adding that Punjab’s model is being recognised for prioritising prevention, treatment and financial protection.
The Punjab government maintains that the healthcare overhaul is aimed at improving health outcomes, reducing out-of-pocket expenditure and restoring public confidence in government-run medical institutions.
