Punjab Unveils ₹6500 Crore Health Shield: 10 Lakh Cover for Every Family

Punjab is set to launch a groundbreaking universal health insurance scheme within three months, offering a comprehensive cover of ₹10 lakh to each of the state’s 65 lakh families. This ambitious initiative promises a cashless and paperless system, encompassing treatment at both government and empanelled private hospitals.

The scheme represents a significant expansion of existing health programs. It aims to provide complete healthcare access to all Punjab residents, irrespective of their location, even those outside the state during emergencies.

This bold move by the Punjab government is expected to revolutionize healthcare access for millions. The financial implications are substantial, estimated at a massive ₹6500 crore, underscoring the state’s commitment to the well-being of its citizens. The success of this initiative will be closely watched, as it could serve as a model for other states striving to improve healthcare accessibility and affordability.
