Universal Health Insurance Program of KP Govt first step towards welfare state: PM August 21, 2020

ISLAMABAD- Prime Minister Imran Khan has congratulated the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government for giving universal health insurance coverage of one million rupees per family to its citizens despite financial constraints.

In a tweet, the Prime Minister said this bold step is in line with our Founding Father's vision for Pakistan and a first step towards welfare state.

Imran Khan said that this policy is only prevalent in a few developed states and not in the USA.

He expressed proud of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government for taking this lead and hoped all other provinces will follow suit.

He said that the government is also moving to do the same at the federal level.
