After inspecting medical facilities under the NPNHC at a private hospital on Saturday, Special Assistant to the CM on Information Hassaan Khawar said it is the biggest health insurance program being rolled out in South Asia.
He further revealed that as many as 22 million families have been registered across Punjab under the Naya Pakistan National Health Card (NPNHC) programme which has been started with an estimated cost of Rs400 billion.
So far around 64,000 hospital beds have been enlisted for the schemes in 593 hospitals out of which 70% are public hospitals.
It is one of its kind social welfare program in the world. PM Imran Khan has fulfilled its promise by providing the same healthcare facilities to rich and poor and proved that better distribution of resources could produce wonders, he added.
