PESHAWAR: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday said that no hindrance in health reforms will be tolerated while chairing a meeting to discuss the state of healthcare in K-P.

 

The prime minister met Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Health Minister, Dr Hisham Inamullah Khan in Islamabad and gave instructions to ensure quality healthcare for the general public with a special focus on merged districts. He also ordered the doctor to visit all hospitals in the province and inspect their facilities.

Earlier this month, Dr Inamullah said the government was working on providing district headquarters hospitals with modern technology to minimise the burden on the provincial capital’s hospitals.

He also announced health card services in the tribal district and approved an independent monitoring unit for the tribal district.

In September, the government formed a task force to evaluate the current status of healthcare in Pakistan and submit its findings to the government.
