Punjab’s Health Minister, Salman Rafique, has good news for everyone in the province. He’s restarting the Sehat Card program, which means free medical help is on the way. Let’s break down what this means for you.
Free Health Care is Coming Back
Salman Rafique recently said in a talk that the Sehat Card program is making a comeback in Punjab. This program helps people get free medical care when they need it most. It’s a big relief for those who struggle to afford healthcare.
Saying Thanks to the Other Guys
Salman Rafique also thanked the other political party, PTI, for keeping this program going. It shows that everyone agrees that free healthcare is important, no matter which party is in charge.
Good News in Another Province Too
Not just in Punjab, but in another province called Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, they’re bringing back free healthcare too. The Health Minister there, Syed Qasim Ali Shah, announced they’re restarting their version of the Sehat Card program. It’s great to see more places offering help to people who need it.
A Program That Works
The Sehat Card program started small in 2015 but grew quickly. Now, it covers a lot of different medical treatments in many hospitals, both public and private. It’s a good sign that the government is serious about making sure everyone can get medical help when they need it.
More Money to Make it Better
To make sure the program works well, the government is putting in more money. They’re giving an extra 5 billion rupees to open more counters in hospitals. This means it’ll be easier for people to get the help they need, without waiting too long.
Conclusion: Health Care for Everyone
With the Sehat Card program coming back, it’s a step forward for everyone’s health. No matter where you live or how much money you have, you deserve to get help when you’re sick. These programs show that the government cares about you and wants to make sure you stay healthy.
