Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna Provides 1 Lakh Cashless Dialysis Sessions Worth Rs 16.5 Crore

The Bhagwant Mann Government's Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna (MMSY) has facilitated around 1 lakh cashless dialysis sessions worth Rs 16.5 crore, providing financial relief to chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in Punjab. While dialysis sustains life by filtering toxins, it does not cure CKD, which is rising nationally due to diabetes and hypertension. Experts emphasize that access and affordability remain critical for patient survival amid this growing public health challenge.
