Free Healthcare Restored
Earlier, the provincial government had restored free healthcare for the entire population of the province under the Sehat Card Plus insurance scheme.
The free treatment facility was suspended by the State Life Insurance Company due to the caretaker government’s failure to clear dues, but was resumed after CM KP Ali Amin ordered the release of funds.
