Under Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana, Infant Recovers After Critical Birth in Bathinda

Gurpreet Singh0 CommentsPunjab, , , , , ,
Chandigarh (Gurpreet Singh): The first cry should bring relief. But sometimes, it brings silence instead. At Aggarwal Hospital in Rampura Phul, District Bathinda, a newborn had already arrived; but the fight for life had just begun. Born at just 33 weeks, the baby of Resham Singh and Gurmail Kaur entered the world too early, too fragile. Weighing only 1.926 kg, far below the normal full-term weight of around 2.5 to 4 kg, the newborn struggled from the very first breath. Severe respiratory distress meant that breathing was not possible without medical support. Inside the hospital, there was no time to…

Patiala (Gurpreet Singh): The road from Patiala to Sangrur is not very long on a map.

Each trip marked another hospital visit. Another set of test results. Another bill to be paid.For Gurpinder Jeet Singh, a driver in Patiala, recent months have meant repeated hospital visits, rising medical bills and uncertainty over his mother’s health.

Punjab’s Universal Healthcare Model Outpaces Ayushman Bharat with Rs 10 Lakh Coverage for All

Gurpreet Singh0 CommentsPunjab, , , , ,
Chandigarh (Gurpreet Singh): At a time when rising medical costs continue to push Indian families into financial distress, a stark contrast is emerging in how healthcare is being funded and delivered. While the Centre’s Ayushman Bharat allocates ₹9,500 crore for a population of 140 crore, Punjab’s Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna commits ₹2,000 crore for just 3 crore residents, translating into nearly ten times higher investment per person. The difference is not just financial, but structural. Where the national scheme limits both eligibility and coverage at ₹5 lakh, Punjab’s model extends ₹10 lakh cashless healthcare to every resident without conditions. Under…
