LAHORE: Punjab Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid has said the provincial government is adding more hospitals to the panel for the provision of standard health treatment to the people having Sehat Insaf Cards.

She said this while chairing a meeting to review the performance and service delivery of the Punjab Health Initiatives Management Company at the specialized healthcare and medical education department on Wednesday.

The minister said the provision of free healthcare to the marginalized section of society was the foremost priority of the government.

“In order to facilitate people, more hospitals were being empanelled and an integrated system to gather feedback from the beneficiaries of the Sehat Insaf Cards have been developed,” she said.

No laxity will be tolerated in the provision of health services to Sehat Insaf Card holders. So far, feedback from the beneficiaries is satisfactory about the services delivery, she said.

“We are working on improving the service delivery. All complaints regarding Sehat Insaf cards are properly addressed”, the health minister concluded.
