The Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday launched the distribution of the Naya Pakistan Sehat Card in Punjab starting from Lahore. The Naya Pakistan Sehat Card will provide Rs. 1 million per year to each family under the Health Coverage Programme.
The premier added that every family in Punjab will be eligible for a health card in accordance with the concept of a welfare state, where every citizen has equal opportunity for growth and prosperity. He said that the State of Madina was the first in history to accept that responsibility for the society’s underprivileged segment was in the hands of the state.
