PESHAWAR: Though the Sehat Sahulat programme, the flagship project of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is a blessing for millions of patients, it desperately needs a review as it is being misused by the private hospitals.
The initiative was first launched in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as Sehat Insaf Card in September 2016 to provide free-of- charge health care to families living below the poverty line.
The government must thoroughly investigate which criteria was used in selection of private sector hospitals for the Sehat Sahulat programme as according to official sources, some of the hospitals on the panel are ill-equipped and below the standard of even a basic health unit (BHU).
