Prime Minister Imran Khan earlier said that the government was focused on providing the masses with health and education facilities.

Imran Khan said that, “Research around the world shows that those households that even are placed above the poverty line suffer setbacks when they are afflicted with diseases.”

The Premier added that that his government had decided to initiate health insurance free for the masses from DG Khan since it was the most backward area of the province. He promised to provide health insurance to each and every person in Punjab.

“By December, Insha’Allah, every person in Punjab will have health insurance,” he said.
