ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Prime Minister Imran Khan launched the Naya Pakistan Sehat Card for Islamabad Citizens on Wednesday.
While addressing the Launching Ceremony of the Health Card Scheme, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that Pakistan is the only Country in the world to introduce such a unique ambitious program for providing free health facilities to its Citizens.
The prime minister said that health issues create economic problems for the people and our vision behind the scheme is to at least relieve them of the economic suffering when they get ill.
Imran Khan said that when people own their Country, only then the Country achieves the ideal of national security but when people are deprived of their basic needs how would they think of the nation and national interest.
