The procedure, along with hospitalisation and specialised care, was estimated to cost nearly \u20b94 lakh, an amount that would have been extremely difficult for the family to arrange at short notice.<\/p>\n<p>With the Sehat Card verified at the hospital, the treatment began without delay. The entire procedure was carried out cashless under the scheme\u2019s coverage of up to \u20b910 lakh per family.<\/p>\n<p>A family member said, \u201cEverything happened very quickly. We were told the condition was serious and required immediate surgery. Arranging such a large amount instantly would not have been possible. The Sehat Card ensured treatment started without delay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the clinical aspect of the case, Dr. Sachin Mahajan, PGIMER Chandigarh, said, \u201cAortic dissection is a critical condition that requires immediate surgical intervention. In such cases, even a short delay can significantly increase risk. Under the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna, once the Sehat Card was verified, we are able to proceed without waiting for financial clearances. This ensures timely and uninterrupted treatment in high-risk cardiac cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reinforcing the government\u2019s approach, Minister of Health and Family Welfare of Punjab, Dr. Balbir Singh said, \u201cBeing able to save a precious life in a critical moment like that of Sukhpal Kaur brings immense satisfaction. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna is making a real ground impact where families are able to access immediate treatment without the stress of arranging funds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With lakhs of families already covered and high-value treatments being delivered across the state, the scheme continues to strengthen healthcare access across Punjab.<\/p>\n<p>The Punjab Government continues to encourage residents to enrol for the Sehat Card at designated centres to avail cashless treatment benefits under the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every life matters &amp; ensuring free, life-saving treatment through Sehat Card reflects our commitment to protecting every citizen: Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh Punjab E News (March 26): Marking one of the highest claims facilitated under the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna to date, a \u20b94 lakh life-saving surgery was delivered cashless, reflecting the scale and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":38425,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
