So far, treatments worth more than ₹465.36 crore have been provided under the scheme, more than 42 lakh health cards have been issued, and more than 2.77 lakh treatments have been provided to the beneficiaries. This shows that a large number of families are trusting the health card and taking advantage of it.
Appeal for registration in the scheme
Despite this remarkable success, the government has appealed to all eligible people who have not yet enrolled to get themselves registered as soon as possible. The government has stressed that medical emergencies can occur at any time, and timely registration can save families from financial burden at such times.
Punjab news: Minister’s statement
Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr. Balbir Singh said that this scheme is making health services accessible to every citizen of Punjab. He said the expenditure of over ₹465.36 crore on around 2.77 lakh pre-authorisation requests and over 42 lakh registrations is proof that people are trusting the scheme. He requested that those who have not yet enrolled should not delay, as the scheme provides financial security in times of need.
Punjab news: Scheme open to all
A major feature of this scheme is that it is open to everyone. There is no limit on the basis of age, gender or income. That is why it is one of the most inclusive health programs in the country.
Arrangement of registration camp
The government is organizing daily registration camps in villages, towns and cities to help more and more people register. These camps are being organized at convenient places like Gurudwaras, Panchayat houses, temples and community centres. These locations are staffed by trained staff who guide people, verify documents and complete the registration on the spot. This makes the process easier for everyone.
Government’s clarification on misconceptions
The government has also removed some common misconceptions. This scheme is not only for poor families, but for all the residents of Punjab. Registration is simple and assistance is available at the camps. Under this scheme, treatment in government and listed private hospitals is cashless. Under this scheme, each family gets a treatment cover of up to ₹10 lakh per year, which includes major surgeries and critical illnesses.
Easy Registration Process
The registration process is simple. People can visit any camp or center without appointment, carrying necessary documents like Aadhar Card and Voter ID and complete the registration with the help of the staff. They will receive confirmation via SMS once the process is completed.
Government’s appeal
Punjab news: The Punjab government is continuously encouraging families in the state to register for this scheme, so that no one has to compromise on health services due to lack of money.
