PM Imran Khan said last month at an event that the government’s health card will pave the way for a big transformation in Pakistan.
According to him, the country is on its way to achieving comprehensive health care. According to the PM, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has already given health care to all of its residents, and the service is being extended to Punjab’s far-flung regions.
With the launch of the health card, he claims, private hospitals will be encouraged to open hospitals in remote regions.
