Govt Launches Health Card Mobile App to Provide Healthcare to Masses

Sehat Sahulat Program (SSP) is one of the lynchpin initiatives of the Prime Minister to provide free healthcare services to the general public. The program ensures that the identified under-privileged citizens of the country get access to their entitled medical health care in a quick and dignified manner without any financial obligations. The primary objective of this program is to improve access of the poor population to good quality medical services, via a micro health insurance scheme. Now, in order to provide relevant information regarding the Sehat Sahulat Program, the Punjab government has launched the ‘Naya Pakistan Health Card Mobile Application.’
