He also spoke about a special registration drive for current and retired PRTC employees to ensure wider and faster coverage.<\/p>\n<p>AAP Punjab State Media In-charge Baltej Pannu stated, \u201cUnder the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna, beneficiaries are entitled to cashless medical treatment up to \u20b910 lakh per family. The scheme covers treatment for a wide range of diseases, with diagnostic tests also included free of cost. Around 900 private hospitals have already been empanelled under the scheme, in addition to all government hospitals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The AAP Punjab inchegri informed that nearly 30 lakh families in Punjab have already been enrolled under the scheme, out of an estimated 65 lakh families in the state. \u201cWe are close to covering half the population and will soon extend the benefits to all families,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing concerns about delays, Baltej Pannu stated, \u201cMinor slowdowns may occur due to network or technical issues, but dedicated teams are working with patience to ensure a smooth process. Registration camps are being organized across locations so that people can enroll near their homes without facing long queues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting inclusivity, Baltej Pannu said, \u201cThe scheme applies uniformly to all families in Punjab without any discrimination based on income, caste, religion, or occupation. The only requirement is possession of a Punjab Aadhaar card and voter ID. Entire families are covered under a single card.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He clarified that beneficiaries do not need to wait for the physical card after enrollment. \u201cIn case of medical need, people can visit any empanelled hospital and avail treatment by presenting their Aadhaar card,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized, \u201cThe scheme provides access to treatment across all levels of healthcare, from Mohalla Clinics for primary care to government and empanelled private hospitals for advanced treatment. Patients ranging from one year old to 98 years old have already benefited from the scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Referring to public perception, he noted, \u201cWhile many people prefer private hospitals, government hospitals have also been significantly upgraded and are delivering quality care. At the same time, the empanelment of around 900 private hospitals ensures adequate options for beneficiaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On misuse and misinformation, Baltej Pannu cautioned, \u201cSome individuals are misleading patients by taking them to non-empanelled hospitals and later claiming denial of treatment. Only empanelled hospitals are authorized under the scheme. The government will soon install clear signage outside all empanelled hospitals indicating acceptance of the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also pointed out that more hospitals are now approaching the government to be included in the empanelled list. \u201cThe number of empanelled hospitals is expected to increase further in the coming days,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on PRTC employees, Baltej Pannu said, \u201cA special registration camp has been organized at the main PRTC station with the support of Chairman Harpal Juneja and other officials. The initiative aims to facilitate easy enrollment for both serving and retired employees and their families. Every eligible PRTC employee will be covered under the scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu concluded by reiterating the Punjab Government\u2019s commitment to strengthening healthcare and education. \u201cSignificant budget allocations have been made in both sectors. The Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna is a major step toward ensuring accessible and affordable healthcare for every family in Punjab,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna reaches 30 lakh families, misinformation campaign cannot stop Punjab\u2019s \u2018Sehat Di Kranti\u2019: Baltej Pannu* Punjab E News (1 April 2026):\u00a0 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab Media Incharge Baltej Pannu today addressed the media and shared a detailed update on the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna (MMSY), while also clarifying misinformation being spread [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":58214,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,21,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-political-news","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
