Imran Khan assured the PMC of all out help from the government in this endeavour.

He said for the first time, the government is working on providing universal health facilities to the people for which health cards are being provided to them.

He said that health card is a protection provided to the people of less privileged segments of society.

Imran Khan said universal health coverage will bring about a revolution to the health sector, prompting the private sector to establish hospitals in far-flung areas of the country.

He said the government is facilitating the private sector by allowing duty-free import of medical equipment and government lands on cheaper rates for the establishment of hospitals in smaller cities and towns.
