KP again suspends health card scheme

PESHAWAR: The Health Card facility has been suspended once again in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s captal Peshawar due to financial constraints, officials said Sunday.

The State Life Insurance Corporation (SLIC) has issued a letter asking the hospitals to stop admitting patients with C-section, patients undergoing cardiac operations and kidney dialysis and patients with other operations.

The statement further reads that the Health Card scheme will not be restored until the KP government releases the due payments.
