ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday said his government’s flagship Sehat Card Scheme would bring about a revolution in the health sector besides providing universal health coverage to people, particularly the poor and the needy.
“The universal health coverage would … protect the poor against economic fallout of contracting a disease,” he said while addressing the launching ceremony of online services of the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC).
The prime minister said even developed states did not provide full healthcare coverage to their citizens but Pakistan was moving towards full universal health coverage despite its limited resources.
