In a groundbreaking move, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has decided to extend the Sehat Card health facility to overseas Pakistani laborers.
Acting on the directives of Chief Minister Ali Amin Khan Gandapur, the provincial government has requested data from the Overseas Pakistanis Foundation to identify eligible workers from KP.
Overseas Pakistani laborers are among the most deserving of this healthcare support but often miss out due to their residence abroad, said an official communique issued here.
Under the new initiative, Pakistani workers residing overseas on labor visas can receive medical treatment abroad and submit their medical reports to the KP Health Department. After verification, their families will be reimbursed for medical expenses.
This facility is specifically designed for the labor class, ensuring that those who contribute to the economy while working abroad are not left without essential healthcare support. The initiative marks a significant step toward the welfare of overseas Pakistani workers and their families.
