What is Sehat Sahulat Programme?

The PTI government has started this programme, and in every family can get free medical services worth upto Rs1 million per year.

The card is not issued to an individual but to a family; it could be a couple and their children, or a joint family.

The government has an agreement with the State Life Insurance Corporation of Pakistan, which borrows Rs 2,850 per person per year from it to provide this service.

Definition of the family under the programme:

A family is defined as a husband and a wife and their children. They can get treatment using the husband or wife’s card for their family. The couples registered with Nadra will get their separate insurance. Those who are not can use their parents’ cards but that would deprive them of their separate Rs1 million insurance.

Eighteen-year-olds who have CNICs but are unmarried can use the facility using their parents’ cards. After they get married, they can file a request with NADRA to have their card number changed.
