Access to affordable and quality healthcare continues to expand across Punjab through the ₹10 lakh health insurance scheme introduced by the Punjab Government under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The initiative is helping thousands of families receive financial protection against major medical expenses while ensuring that quality treatment remains within the reach of every eligible citizen. In SAS Nagar Mohali, the scheme has emerged as an important step towards strengthening public welfare and improving access to essential healthcare services.
MLA Kulwant Singh highlighted the impact of the health insurance scheme, noting that it is reducing the financial burden on families by providing health coverage of up to ₹10 lakh for eligible beneficiaries. The initiative reflects the Punjab Government’s commitment to making healthcare more accessible and ensuring that people do not have to postpone or avoid treatment because of financial constraints.
One of the significant achievements under the scheme has been the successful completion of 3,524 free eye surgeries for eligible patients. These procedures have been carried out without any cost to the beneficiaries, enabling thousands of people to regain better vision and improve their quality of life. By removing the financial barrier to treatment, the programme has provided relief to senior citizens, low-income families, and other residents who require specialised eye care.
The health insurance initiative forms part of the Punjab Government’s broader efforts to strengthen public healthcare, expand citizen services, and improve the delivery of welfare programmes. Along with infrastructure development and enhanced public services, healthcare remains a key priority in ensuring inclusive development across urban and rural areas of Mohali. Such initiatives contribute to healthier communities while supporting families with access to timely and affordable medical care.
Speaking on the occasion, MLA Kulwant Singh said that quality healthcare should be available to every citizen without financial hardship. He stated that the Punjab Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, is committed to strengthening the public healthcare system and ensuring that welfare initiatives reach every deserving family. He added that schemes such as the ₹10 lakh health insurance programme are helping improve the lives of thousands of people by providing access to essential medical treatment and reducing the burden of healthcare expenses. The Punjab Government continues to focus on expanding public welfare initiatives that directly improve the lives of residents across SAS Nagar Mohali. Through continued investment in healthcare, citizen services, and community development, efforts remain focused on building a healthier and more secure future for families while ensuring that quality medical care is accessible to all.
