He said the health cards introduced by the government would help people in small towns and villages who mostly visit public hospitals in their respective districts which have already limited resources. He said the entire population in all districts of Punjab would be given health cards.
“The health cards will be distributed in all districts of Punjab by March 31, 2022. We are giving health cards to the people at their doorsteps”, he said.
The minister of state for parliamentary affairs said: “Through Naya Pakistan Qaumi Sehat Card, we are providing top quality medical services to the people.
He said that the provision of universal health insurance was turning the dream of Prime Minister Imran Khan into reality. He said, “We salute Prime Minister Imran Khan for this great service to humanity as health is his foremost priority”. He said health cards had also been distributed among the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The minister termed PM Imran Khan’s visit to China successful and said that it was unfortunate some elements were pursuing the narrative of India on the visit of Imran Khan. He said that the relationship between Pakistan and China would further strengthen.
