Punjab Launches Free Health Scheme

Punjab Launches Free Health Scheme

The Punjab government started a new health plan called 'Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna'.

This plan gives free medical treatment up to Rs 10 lakh to every family in the state.

There is no income limit to use this plan.

Many hospitals, both government and private, are part of this plan.

Ministers in Punjab are helping people sign up for this plan.

They are going to villages and towns to make sure everyone knows about it.

The plan covers many types of treatments.

The government also said they will open more small clinics in villages to help people get healthcare easily.

However, some people are worried about how the government will pay for this plan because Punjab has a lot of debt.

The opposition party says the plan is not real and is just for show.
