The Information Advisor said that immediate financial assistance will be provided to the family members on the death of the head of the household.

Barrister Saif said that Rs 1 million will be given to the family members of the head of the household below the age of 60, and Rs 5 million will be given to the family members of those who die at the age of 60 and above.

Earlier, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Khan Gandapur unveiled ambitious plans to revolutionize the province’s healthcare system by including a life insurance facility under the Sehat card.

To ensure the success of the Sehat Card program, Gandapur’s government is working tirelessly to upgrade public sector hospitals, with the ultimate goal of empaneling as many of these institutions as possible.

This strategic move will enable citizens to access free healthcare services across the province, regardless of their geographical location.
