health insurance facility for the whole population so that no one had to sell out belongings for the medical treatment of their dear one.

“This is not a health insurance rather a health system. Now private sector will build hospitals even in villages where the basic health units remain vacant as no doctor desires to be posted there.

Now private sector will come and poorest of the poor will get free treatment,” the prime minister remarked.

He said the health insurance cover would give the families a confidence to get treated their ailing family members which otherwise was unaffordable for many.

He apprised the audience that despite the discouraging notions about the feasibility of Shaukat Khanum Hospital, 75% of percent patients were getting free medical treatment.

The hospital which was built at cost of Rs 700 million now spending Rs10 billion for treating the patients.

Similarly, he said Pakistan was to become an Islamic welfare state but the leaders so far had been awaiting the resources which was contrary to the precedence of the Madina State.

#APPNews #صحت_کارڈ_سب_کیلیے @PakPMO @ImranKhanPTI
Reiterating his vision of replicating Madina State model in Pakistan, he said the Holy prophet established the world’s

first welfare state even without having sufficient resources. This proved that brining humanity to a state was more essential than the resources for establishing a welfare state.
