Chief Minister Lalduhoma announced on February 3, 2026, that Mizoram has achieved a significant milestone in public health with the Mizoram Universal Health Care Scheme (MUHCS) reaching a 91% enrollment rate. Speaking at the Knowledge Exchange Health Conclave in Aizawl, the Chief Minister emphasized that the administration has prioritized medical infrastructure to ensure a seamless, cashless treatment system for all citizens.
The state's proactive approach was recently recognized by the National Health Authority, which presented Mizoram with an award for the Best Performance in Achieving Card Saturation. Lalduhoma stated that "health remains the bedrock of Mizoram's progress," noting that the Mizoram Health Systems Strengthening Project (MHSSP) has been the primary catalyst for these systemic upgrades, turning health into a major victory for public accessibility.
