Punjab Sehat Card Hospital List 2026 — District by District
Empanelled Hospitals · All 36 Districts · Government & Private · How to Use Your Card · Problems & Complaints
Punjab’s Sehat Sahulat Programme (SSP) covers free inpatient treatment worth up to Rs. 10 lakh per family per year at more than 900 empanelled hospitals across all 36 districts of the province — both government and private facilities. According to phimc.punjab.gov.pk, the programme has enrolled over 34 million beneficiary families as of 2026. To use the card at any empanelled hospital, take your original CNIC and complete a biometric scan at the registration counter — no cash, no advance payment, no form. To confirm your eligibility before going, send your 13-digit CNIC number (no dashes) as an SMS to 8500 from any network — Jazz, Zong, Telenor, or Ufone — free of charge.
How to Find Your District’s Empanelled Hospital
The Punjab Health Initiative Management Company (PHIMC) maintains the official list of empanelled hospitals at phimc.punjab.gov.pk. Every district in Punjab has at least one empanelled facility — major cities like Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, and Multan have several dozen each. The fastest way to find a hospital near you is the SMS method, the official website, or our Sehat Card Hospital Finder tool.
Method 1 — SMS 8500 (Fastest, Works on Any Phone)

How to Use Your Sehat Card at a Hospital
According to the official PHIMC guidelines at phimc.punjab.gov.pk, the process for receiving treatment is the same at every empanelled hospital. All you need is your original CNIC.
- 1Before going, confirm the hospital is on the SSP panel via SMS 8500 or our Hospital Finder tool.
- 2Go to the hospital’s registration counter. Tell the staff you are using the Sehat Sahulat Programme.
- 3Present your original CNIC. A photocopy or a photo on your phone is not accepted.
- 4Place your finger on the biometric scanner at the counter — this confirms your identity against NADRA records.
- 5Once verification is complete, admission and treatment begin — no upfront fee, no deposit.
- 6Medicines used inside the hospital during your admission are also covered — the hospital provides them directly.
✓ Note on Children: Minor children without a CNIC are covered under a parent or guardian’s card. Bring the child’s B-Form and the parent’s original CNIC. The hospital registration desk processes this under the family package.
What Your SMS 8500 Result Means
Your family is covered under SSP. Go to any empanelled hospital in your district with your original CNIC. Find your nearest hospital now using our Hospital Finder tool or the Lahore list if you are in Lahore.
Your CNIC is not currently in the SSP records. This usually means your NSER data is outdated or incomplete — not that you are permanently excluded. Visit your nearest BISP tehsil office with your original CNIC and request an HH6 dynamic survey. Recheck eligibility via 8500 after 2 to 4 weeks.
Your CNIC is being verified against NADRA and NSER records. No action needed right now. Send the SMS again after 24 to 48 hours.
What to Do When Things Go Wrong
Hospital Refused to Accept Sehat Card
First confirm the hospital is on the active panel at phimc.punjab.gov.pk or via our Hospital Finder. If the hospital is on the panel and still refuses, call the SHA Punjab helpline 0800-09009 immediately from the hospital — give the hospital name, district, and reason for refusal. An SHA representative contacts the hospital directly.
Biometric Machine Not Working
Ask the hospital administration for a manual override form — this is PHIMC’s approved emergency procedure. Call 0800-09009 so an SHA representative can contact the hospital to resolve the technical issue on the spot. A biometric failure is not a reason to deny treatment.
Hospital Charged a Fee Despite SSP Coverage
Keep your payment receipt. Call 0800-09009 and report the hospital name, date, and amount charged. You can also file a written complaint at phimc.punjab.gov.pk. No fee should be charged for any inpatient treatment covered under SSP at an empanelled hospital.
SMS to 8500 Got No Reply
Check that your CNIC number is exactly 13 digits with no dashes or spaces. Try again after 30 minutes. If there is still no reply, use the eligibility checker on phimc.punjab.gov.pk or call 0800-09009.
Not Eligible But Should Be — How to Enrol
SSP eligibility is based on your BISP poverty survey (NSER) score. If your data is outdated, the system may show you as ineligible even though you qualify. Visit your nearest BISP tehsil office with your original CNIC and request an HH6 dynamic survey. This updates your household data. Check eligibility again via 8500 after 2 to 4 weeks. First confirm your BISP 8171 eligibility status — BISP-enrolled families qualify for SSP automatically.
⚠ Beware of Fraud: SSP registration, eligibility checks, and hospital treatment are all free. No agent, WhatsApp group, or third-party website can change your eligibility or get you a Sehat Card faster. Only send your CNIC to 8500 — no other number. Never share your CNIC with an unknown person in exchange for a card or registration service.
Send your 13-digit CNIC to 8500 right now to confirm your eligibility. If eligible, take your original CNIC to any empanelled hospital in your district — biometric verification at the registration desk is the only step before free treatment begins. If your result shows “not eligible,” visit your nearest BISP tehsil office with your original CNIC and request an HH6 dynamic survey, or call the SHA Punjab helpline 0800-09009 free of charge.
