the great drive of Pakistan's administration towards social assurance through fair funding to improve the local area and to accomplish SDG health for all. Checking its working is signi cant [8]. Another justi cation for this health programme is that Pakistan's "out of pocket (OOP)" health spending is higher than 70%, which is highly concerning when it comes to delivering health services to the lower middle class and the poor [9]. In developing nations like Pakistan, the vulnerable and low-income population make up a large portion of the population. Prior to the Sehat Sahulat programme, the health sector had made little progress in ensuring that these individuals had access to high-quality healthcare services. This is extremely important since, in the population of these nations, a single step of inaccessibility contributes to 68% and 92% of all annual global fatalities from communicable and noncommunicable diseases, respectively [10]. Private hospitals sign up for the NADRA programme on a daily basis since it is so simple to access. To improve services throughout Punjab, an integrated health management system is aiming to standardize private and public healthcare facilities. The charitable programme and charter mentioned on the website are updated daily [11]. The data were collected, analyzed and entered in SPSS version-26.0 For quantitative data, mean ± standard deviation (SD) and for qualitative data frequency and percentage were calculated. Sensitivity was measured.
It is cross sectional study performed in Faisalabad's hospitals from February to Sep 2022. The study population was Sehat Insaf card users and sample size for the study was 307 by applying the following formula: A random sampling technique was used.

Responsiveness was checked for eight domains de ned by WHO using WHO standard questionnaire. Third section for participants to rate their satisfaction with the domains The nal section R E S U L T S was asked them how important each domain to them. The items were measured on a Likert scale 3-point scale ranging from 1 (poor) to 3 (good). The data were collected in the form of survey and the participants were asked to selfcomplete the survey to minimize methodological bias. The close ended questionnaire was lled after taking verbal and written consent from the participants. Ethical approval to conduct this study was obtained from AFPGMI, NUMS.

Responsiveness score less than 49 was labeled as poor responsiveness, score between 49 was labeled as satisfactory and more than 50 and above was marked as good responsiveness. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version-22 and for descriptive statistics like frequencies and percentages were calculated while for chi square test of signi cance was applied to check associations among independent variables and self-care activities.
