Important to note, the PTI-led government is heavily advertising the Ehsaas health cards. The Sehat cards were also advertised at the HBL PSL 7, a move that left Twitter divided. Many netizens appreciated the marketing strategy, while others criticized it.
According to the supporters, the Sehat Card is an important initiative that should be aggressively promoted so more people can know about it and avail of it. On the other hand, the critics stated that the Sehat card has nothing to do with HBL PSL 7. The PTI government is over projecting the card.

Sehat card: A revolutionary initiative
So far, the PTI government issued the health card in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, Islamabad, Thar Parkar District, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, where it witnessed massive success.
Ever since its launch, the number of eligible families and individuals benefiting from the National Health Card in Punjab increased. The number increased by 63% with the inclusion of more than 10.5 million people from Rahim Yar Khan, Bahawalpur, and Bahawalnagar districts in the Bahawalpur Division.
The National Health Card is a revolutionary initiative by the government. It provides free medical treatment in government and selected private hospitals up to Rs. 1 million. It includes treatments such as open-heart surgeries, cancer management, neurosurgical procedures, dialysis, deliveries, C-sections, and other medical and surgical procedures.
