it covered all of KPs population, while increasing amount of medical coverage from 4 to 10 lakh/family. Initially it was based on a poverty survey of 2011 which left out poor people. That is why, despite the great cost, govt has decided to make it available to all Pakistanis.
What does it cover:
Existing govt hospitals, BHUs, RHCs, pharmacies and tertiary care hospitals already provide free of cost emergency and outpatient services. Sehat card covers what is left, in-patient costs for a numerous illnesses, for treatment in public and private hospitals
