Access to affordable and quality healthcare continues to improve across Punjab through the ₹10 lakh health insurance scheme introduced by the Punjab Government under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The flagship welfare initiative is providing financial protection to eligible families against major medical expenses while ensuring that quality healthcare services remain accessible without imposing a heavy financial burden. In SAS Nagar Mohali, the scheme has emerged as a significant step towards strengthening public welfare and improving healthcare accessibility for residents.
MLA Kulwant Singh highlighted the positive impact of the scheme, stating that it provides eligible beneficiaries with health insurance coverage of up to ₹10 lakh, enabling families to receive quality medical treatment without worrying about the cost of hospitalization. The initiative reflects the Punjab Government’s commitment to expanding social security and ensuring that no deserving citizen is deprived of healthcare due to financial limitations.
A major achievement under the programme has been the successful completion of 3,524 free eye surgeries for eligible patients. These procedures have been conducted entirely free of cost, helping thousands of people restore their vision and improve their quality of life. The initiative has provided significant relief to senior citizens, economically weaker families, and patients requiring specialised eye care, demonstrating the government’s continued focus on accessible and inclusive healthcare services.
The health insurance scheme forms an important part of the Punjab Government’s broader vision of strengthening public healthcare, expanding citizen services, and improving social welfare across the state. Alongside investments in hospitals, healthcare infrastructure, education, and public services, the scheme is helping create a stronger healthcare system that benefits residents in both urban and rural areas of SAS Nagar Mohali.
Speaking on the occasion, MLA Kulwant Singh said that access to quality healthcare is a fundamental right of every citizen and that no family should suffer due to the high cost of medical treatment. He stated that under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the Punjab Government remains committed to strengthening healthcare services and implementing welfare initiatives that directly improve the lives of the people. He added that the ₹10 lakh health insurance scheme is providing much-needed financial security while ensuring that eligible families receive timely and quality medical care.
He further encouraged eligible residents to take full advantage of the scheme and spread awareness among their families and communities so that more people can benefit from the government’s healthcare initiatives. He emphasised that public awareness and active participation are essential for ensuring that welfare schemes reach every deserving household.
The continued implementation of the ₹10 lakh health insurance scheme reflects the Punjab Government’s commitment to building a healthier, more secure, and welfare-oriented society. Through sustained investment in healthcare, improved citizen services, and people-centric governance, the Punjab Government and MLA Kulwant Singh remain dedicated to enhancing the well-being and quality of life of residents across SAS Nagar Mohali.
