The Government of Punjab continues the free healthcare program called the Sehat Sahulat Program, which helps poor families get free treatment, medicines, and medical tests. If your NADRA record is updated, you and your whole family can benefit from this facility.
We will explain how you can check Sehat Card eligibility, what updates are needed in NADRA, and how to get free treatment in Pakistan using your CNIC as your Sehat Card.
✅ What is the Sehat Card?
The Sehat Card is a government-issued healthcare card linked to your CNIC (ID card). You don’t need a separate card. If you are eligible, your CNIC is automatically your Sehat Card.
You can use this card to get free treatment in registered hospitals across Punjab under the Punjab Health Initiative Management Company (PHIMC).
