To improve access of population, especially the poor, to good quality medical services, a phased social health protection approach has been adopted. In the initial phase, free health insurance was provided to the population living below the poverty line, special persons and transgender community. The objective was to improve access to health services by the vulnerable groups in the Punjab through a reduction of financial barriers and strengthening of the quality of health service provision and ensuring future expansion of the scheme through a rigorous monitoring mechanism.

Universal Health Insurance has been launched in D.G. Khan, Sahiwal, Bahawalpur, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Sargodha of Punjab, where the all-permanent residents of 36 districts and 9 divisions of Punjab are eligible to receive health coverage under Sehat Sahulat Program using their CNIC as health card. 

The Company is also working on different arrangements within stipulated legislative and policy frameworks to further strengthen the health service delivery in the Punjab. More than 850 public & private hospitals are providing free health services to the permanent residents of Punjab though “Qaumi Sehat Card”.
