Around 350 private hospitals from across Punjab participated in PHANACON 2026, organised by the Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes Association (PHANA) Punjab in Ludhiana, to deliberate on challenges and opportunities regarding the implementation of the Mukhyamantri Sehat Yojana.
The conference served as a common platform uniting representatives from the state health agency (SHA), insurance companies, third-party administrators (TPAs), and private hospitals for direct discussions on claim settlements, documentation requirements, pre-authorisation procedures, and operational hurdles. The conference also charted a future roadmap for the Mukhyamantri Sehat Yojana, exploring the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate claim processing, minimise administrative bottlenecks, and enhance overall system transparency. Organisers underscored that regular dialogue between healthcare providers, regulators, and insurers is essential for strengthening healthcare delivery across Punjab.
