Prime Minister Imran Khan has stated today that the government’s health card will prove to be a source of a “major revolution” in Pakistan.
He made these comments at the inauguration in Islamabad of the Pakistan Medical Commission Online system.
“I congratulate the PMC for establishing an online system,” PM Imran Khan said.
“The government will stand by you and will be at the ready to assist you in any way because your success means the success of the entire country’s health system,” Imran Khan added.
“A country like ours, which is not very [economically strong] right now, is moving towards universal health coverage. Even wealthy countries do not have such facilities right now. People did not have the buying power before. Now people have the health card. The health card is not just a health card, it is an entire system in itself,”
He further said: “We are also incentivising the private sector for duty free import of medical equipment which is not available in Pakistan. So the role of the PMC, as this network expands, will become all the more important,”
