The Health Minister said, “Prime Minister eagerly wanted to provide free healthcare to all citizens. Top quality health facilities is basic right of every citizen. Prime Minister Imran Khan desired that everyone must have free health insurance.
Alhumdulillah we have given away cads to 65% population of Punjab.
Every family head gets a card for his family. Insurance coverage of Rs. one million is available for a family in empanelled public and private hospitals. We started Sehat Cards in 2019 and since then thousands of families have availed health insurance worth hundreds of millions. Since January 2022 more than 500 people have availed free cardiac treatment. This card gives access to poor families to private hospitals. Every person is equal if we take inpiation from Riyasat-e-Madina.
Free healthcare is basic right of every citizen. By 31st March 2022, Naya Pakistan Qomi Sehat cards will be distributed to all 30 million families of Punjab.
All families are requested to get their data updated at NADRA.
