The Punjab Armed Police (PAP) has recently entered into a formal arrangement with hospitals across the state to provide discounted health facilities to its personnel and their families. Under this initiative, patients receive treatment at multi-specialty hospitals at much lower rates, while the government saves money on medical reimbursement claims, and hospitals benefit from a steady flow of dedicated patients.

In addition, the wards of police personnel are now being offered discounted civil services coaching — with special concessions for children of martyrs.
