LAYYAH (Dunya News) – Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Wednesday has said that he has always wanted to ensure provision of health card to every person in Punjab for free medical treatment. Addressing a ceremony after launching health card scheme in Layyah, the premier said that Pakistan is getting developed day-by-day due to the effective policies of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government. The government hospitals were lacking health related facilities for the poverty-stricken people in the past, he told.
