The Sehat Card (issued under the Mukh Mantri Sehat Bima Yojana — MMSY) is a universal health coverage initiative by the Government of Punjab that provides cashless medical treatment up to ₹10 lakh per family at eligible hospitals. The card helps residents get free treatment without paying out‑of‑pocket costs at approved facilities.
📌 Who Is Eligible?
- All residents of Punjab are eligible for the Sehat Card.
- There is no income limit — it covers every family irrespective of earnings.
