The prime minister noted that the issuance of Insaf Health Card will revolutionize the entire health system of Pakistan and will encourage the private sector to establish hospitals at far flung areas and the government will facilitate them by providing state land and allowing duty free import of necessary medical equipment.
PM Imran Khan also underlined the significance of uplifting of backward areas of the province like DG Khan and Sahiwal Divisions and stressed that inclusive development of backward areas also helps prevent concentration of population in big cities, where provision of civic amenities has become a challenge now.
