Sir: Recently Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced that health cards schemes for the poor. Initially, it is for Islamabad and tribal districts of KP. Indeed it is good step taken by the Prime Minister, because government hospitals are not running in proper way and lack of facilities, like shortage of medicines, instruments, mis-management, but Sehat Insaf Cards are not the solution to eradicate poverty or to facilitate poor.

Now our tax’s money will be utilized in both Sehat Insaf Cards as well as government hospitals. If our Prime Minister Imran Khan interested to issue Sehat Insaf Cards then I urge him to issue these health cards to all Pakistanis and close the chapter of government hospitals. Again it is not the solution to eradicate poverty or to facilitate poor.

I request to the Prime Minister to improve the government hospitals and provide all the required medicines instead of issuing Sehat Insaf Cards. If all facilities be provided in the government hospitals then why we would need to go private hospitals.
