The Sehat Card (Sehat Sahulat Programme) is no longer valid in government hospitals across Punjab. But who started it? Why was it suspended? And what healthcare services are still free today?

In this video, we break down the full political history of the Sehat Card, from PPP’s 2012 pilot, to PML-N’s national rollout, PTI’s universal expansion, and now its suspension under Maryam Nawaz’s government. This video covers:

  • What changed over the years?
  • What remains free under the new CM health initiatives?
  • Which political era benefited the public most?
This is the real story of Pakistan’s most ambitious health program, and how politics keeps reshaping public healthcare.
