Prime Minister Imran Khan launched on Monday a programme to give health insurance to all residents of Punjab, announcing that by the end of March, all families in the province will get the ‘Naya Pakistan Health Card’.
Under the scheme, families can avail free medical treatment of up to Rs1 million per year.
After Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which began offering all its residents health insurance under the same scheme in February, Punjab is set to become the second province to offer its residents universal coverage.
