Sehat Card Programme Resumes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: Good News for Residents!
The Sehat Card Programme, a flagship health initiative in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is back in operation, bringing relief to millions of residents who rely on it for free medical care.
What is the Sehat Card Programme?
The Sehat Card Programme is a micro-health insurance scheme aimed at providing financial assistance to eligible residents of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for inpatient medical treatment at empanelled hospitals.
Launched in 2016, the program boasts over 7.2 million registered families and has been instrumental in improving access to quality healthcare for many.
Temporary Suspension and Resumption:
In May 2023, the program faced a temporary suspension due to funding constraints. This caused significant hardship for residents who relied on the Sehat Card for essential medical care at private hospitals.
However, with the recent election of Ali Amin Gandapur as Chief Minister, the program has been resumed, signifying a commitment to ensuring citizens’ well-being.
When will the Sehat Card service be available again?
The Sehat Card program will be reactivated for all permanent residents of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from the first day of Ramadan 1445 AH, which is expected to fall on March 12, 2024.
This swift resumption ensures continued access to vital healthcare services for residents.
Benefits of the Sehat Card Programme:
- Free medical treatment: Covers a wide range of inpatient medical services at empanelled hospitals, eliminating out-of-pocket expenses for eligible beneficiaries.
- Improved access to healthcare: Empowers residents, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds, to seek necessary medical care without financial burdens.
- Reduced financial strain: Alleviates the financial burden on families facing medical emergencies, promoting overall well-being.
- Family-centric approach: Covers the entire family unit, including spouses and unmarried children, ensuring comprehensive healthcare coverage.
How to find out if you are eligible?
Since the program targets permanent residents of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, you are most likely already eligible if you possess a CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) or Form B with a permanent address in the province.
However, if your family status is unclear in the NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority) database, you may need to resolve the issue before benefiting from the program.
