Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday announced Rs 10 lakh worth free medical insurance in Punjab. Arvind Kejriwal made this announcement during a joint press conference with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann.
The press conference was called after Aam Aadmi Party's 'excellent' performance at Punjab Zila Parishad and Block Samaiti Elections. The results of the election came on December 14. Arvind Kejriwal outlined 'In both Zila Parishad and Block Panchayat Samiti, AAP has won almost 70 percent of seats. This shows that people in rural areas have expressed their faith in Bhagwant Mann government in Punjab.'
During the press conference, Arvind Kejriwal announced, "From next month, medical insurance worth Rs 10 lakh will be provided to every family. The process of issuing insurance cards for all beneficiaries will begin in January."
Under Mann Government's Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana scheme, residents of Punjab will be eligible for cashless medical treatment of up to Rs 10 lakh per year.
Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna is first-of-its-kind scheme in the country to provide cashless medical treatment worth Rs 10 lakh to residents of the state.
Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna scheme is expected to benefit the entire population of three crore residents, and over 500 private hospitals have been empaneled for the scheme so far, and the number will be enhanced to 1000 in the coming days.
In July 2025, CM Mann had informed that the government will make a health card. The health cardholders can get treatment of up to Rs 10 lakh in private as well as Government hospitals.
However, people who could not get health cards can still get cashless treatment of up to Rs 10 lakh.
Under the scheme, a family can avail cashless treatment up to a maximum of Rs 10 lakh in a year. If required, the benefit can be availed again after one year. A total of 1,950 treatment packages will be available in both government and empanelled private hospitals.
A key feature of the scheme is its universal coverage. Regardless of income status, every resident of Punjab will be eligible to apply for a Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna Health Card.
