PM launches Naya Pakistan Qaumi Sehat Card scheme 

Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan launched Naya Pakistan Qaumi Sehat Card scheme in Islamabad on Wednesday (today).   

Under the scheme, all families of Islamabad, Punjab, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and Tharparkar will be provided free medical treatment at government as well as private hospitals.      

The card will enable every family to avail healthcare facilities up to one million rupees in a year.  

While addressing the launching ceremony of the scheme, The Premier said Pakistan is the only country in the world to introduce such a unique ambitious program for providing free health facility to its citizens.                 

“Through this card people cannot only get free treatment in government hospitals but also in private ones of their choice,” added Khan. 

The cricketer-turned politician further stated that health issues create economic problems for the people and our vision behind this scheme is to at least relieve them of the economic suffering when they get ill.

“When people own their country, only then the country achieves the ideal of national security but when people are deprived of their basic needs how would they think of the nation and national interest,” stated Prime Minister.
