The Federal Sehat Sahulat Program (FSSP) is Pakistan’s largest government-run social health insurance initiative, aimed at providing cash-free inpatient treatment and financial risk protection to vulnerable households. The programme has been implemented across federal and provincial jurisdictions, offering a standardized framework for social health protection and access to tertiary healthcare services.

The initiative traces its roots to the Prime Minister’s National Health Programme (PMNHP) launched on 31 December 2015 by then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of the Pakistan Muslim League (N). The programme marked Pakistan’s first federal-level social health insurance intervention and laid the foundation for the current Sehat Sahulat Program and Federal Sehat Sahulat Program.
