PESHAWAR: The State Life Insurance Corporation on Saturday urged the provincial government to pay Rs6 billion for the continuation of the Sehat Card Plus health programme in the province.
In a letter, the insurer asked all hospitals empanelled for the programme to stop new patient admissions under the Sehat Card Plus until further directives.
It advised private hospitals to refer cases to government hospitals, which will also carry out lifesaving procedures in the absence of the programme.
