Islamabad : The development of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Benefit Package of Pakistan and its implementation will become the cornerstone of health reforms across Pakistan. This is a time for vigorous and positive action. Let’s seize this opportunity together.
The above remarks were made by the PM’s Special Assistant on Health Dr. Faisal Sultan while addressing a media briefing arranged by the World Health Organisation (WHO) here Thursday in connection with Universal Health Coverage Day.
“This work is just the beginning of the reforms process; we have to move forward towards the implementation of the UHC package in a more coordinated and effective manner while developing stronger partnerships. Significant progress has been made in starting implementation of the package across provinces and areas. The package will initially be implemented in two districts from each province and one from each region/area,” Dr. Faisal Sultan stated.
