Punjab Health Minister Balbir Singh has highlighted another successful case under the Mann government health card scheme, where a newborn baby girl’s life was saved through free, high-cost medical treatment. The case has once again showcased the impact of Punjab’s flagship healthcare initiative.
Newborn Saved Under Mann Government Health Card Scheme
A one-day-old baby girl suffering from a serious congenital illness underwent a successful surgery at Government Rajindra Hospital in Patiala. The treatment, which would have cost several lakh rupees, was fully covered under the ₹10 lakh Mann government health card scheme.
According to officials, this is another example of how the Mann government health card scheme is ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent families from accessing critical healthcare services.
Free Treatment at Rajindra Hospital Patiala
The surgery was performed at Government Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, where doctors successfully treated the newborn’s condition. The entire cost of treatment was borne under the Chief Minister Health Scheme, providing major relief to the family.

He further added that the Mann government health card scheme continues to strengthen public hospitals and provide free treatment worth up to ₹10 lakh per family.
Impact on Families in Punjab
The successful treatment has brought hope and relief to the newborn’s family, who could not afford the expensive surgery otherwise. Officials said such cases reflect the growing trust in government hospitals under the scheme.
The Mann government health card scheme is increasingly being seen as a lifeline for economically weaker sections across Punjab.
The latest case at Rajindra Hospital highlights the life-saving impact of the Mann government health card scheme. With free treatment worth lakhs of rupees, the initiative continues to ensure that financial hardship does not stand in the way of healthcare access for families in Punjab.
