The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has launched the Sehat Card Plus initiative in an effort to guarantee that all residents of the province have access to healthcare, offering free outpatient department (OPD) services at hospitals.
In a ceremony attended by members of his cabinet, legislators, and Health Department representatives, KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur officially launched the program.
In the second phase, the free OPD service will be extended to the districts of Malakand and Kohat after being introduced as a trial project in Mardan.
Free medications, tests, and other medical treatment will be available to anyone with the Sehat Card Plus. In partnership with the German group KfW, the pilot project is being started and will be further developed.
What is Sehat Card Plus?
According to the KP government Sehat Card Plus is a Micro-health Insurance Programme for all the citizens of the province. “It is one of the flagship programmes of Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The programme is being implemented through an insurance company selected through national competitive bidding.”
