How to Apply for Punjab CM Cancer Card 2026
The registration process is different from standard welfare schemes because hospital verification is involved.
Step 1: Check Eligibility
Applicants may check eligibility by sending their CNIC number through the designated verification system.
Many program updates mention CNIC verification through:
8500 SMS Service
for eligibility checking.
Step 2: Visit an Empaneled Hospital
Cancer patients should visit an approved participating hospital for medical evaluation and registration assistance.
Step 3: Meet Hospital Facilitation Officer
Hospital Facilitation Officers (HFOs) help patients complete the registration process and submit required records.

The hospital verifies:
- Diagnosis
