Balochistan’s health department has made tremendous progress thanks to a partnership with a big private insurance provider. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed to kick off the region’s long-awaited healthcare programme.

The recently introduced health card scheme is supposed to provide comprehensive healthcare to over two million families.

Syed Ehsan Shah, Balochistan’s Health Minister, declared at a well-attended press conference that this effort represented a pioneering development in the province’s healthcare sector.
