Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has started free treatment for the residents of newly merged districts since the federal government stopped cashless medication on June 30.

1.6 million tribal people are being excluded from receiving free health care due to an abrupt decision by the federal government. As a result, the provincial government has decided to continue providing free health care to people of former Fata communities.

“We have asked the State Life Insurance Corporation (SLIC) to extend the facilities to the population of erstwhile Fata on emergency basis. It means that now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will be giving free services to all its population. We are already providing free health coverage to eight million families of the province. Now the population of tribal districts has been included in the Sehat Card Plus (SCP) programme,” said the minister.
