Very good initiative!!!

But why not just use the national ID card?

Because it has to include the word Insaaf somehow?

Because you have to be “poor” to be included in first phase. A good measure of that is BISP (as 80-85%) of its holders are poor (others political agents). Same happened in KP, in the first phase those families were granted this card who were registered as poor with BISP. At second phase then we included lower and upple middle class. Currently 69% of KP population have a sehat insaf card and it cost KP no more then 8-10 billion per year (extending to whole population will require 12 billion per year). So when we have full coverage of citizens then i guess we can work on NIC, untill then , lets call it Insaf card.

But, i had/have some reservations regarding KP sehat insaf card.

1. Limit of 560000 per family was verylow. Needed to be increased (thank god its increased to 750000).

2. Number of affiliated doctors, hospitals very low. Hence a patient have to wait for 3-4 months for an operation. The other reason behind this “delay” is that doctors and hoapitals dont see any incentive in serving Sehat card holders. So i recommend , increase number of full time Sehat card Hospitals and doctors. And set a limit/force for other hospitals (let say the patients they serve daily should be 50% of Sehat card holders and 50% others). This will reduce the delay in operations.

3. Abolish all other schemes for AIDS, Hepatitous A,B,C, thelesimia and other such diseases. And bring these diseases under Sehat card Umbrela. So that funds are better managed from one pocket and there is clarity.

4. A national data base of each citizens Medical history should be eatablished. Which can be accessed by authorized hospitals/doctors. And have full medical history of a person like previously treated diseases, any current disease like High/Low B.P, Diabeties etc. My father was admitted to an hospital and doctor prescribed us some injections. I randomly told him that my father have asthma. The doctor said “thank god you told me that. Because these injections could have caused him severe issues). So how many such incidents can be avoided by keeping patients record ? All i guess, . Good thing is that KP even started that.

Instead of giving money to govt hospitals give it to insurance so these insurance pay of for individuals with none to pay citizen himself

Thats the plan. Read the article. It says “Insurance carrier is selected”. Even the name is mentioned. To read again

I understand that insurance is a tranision step, but I really hope that in the long term Pakistan can have a national health service like here in Canada or the NHS in the UK.

Private health insurance does not work in the long term, just look at America.

Who is going to pay for it? In the UK you pay contributions towards NHS from your wages but most Pakistanis don't even pay income tax, until Pakistan actually sorts out its tax collection problems we cannot afford any public funded scheme.

They want overseas pakistanis to pay for it

 

[insight-out]

I appreciate the fact that successive governments have maintained the Benazir Income Support Program. It shows a degree of maturity. Cynics would say that the motives for continuing the program are selfish. But at the end of the day, I see this as one of the many positives in Pakistan.

In my opinion, the Insaf card is an even bigger accomplishment. While it is currently associated with PTI, I believe in time it will become so deeply institutionalized that it will become part of our reality. In the not too distant future, these programs are very likely to loose their partisan connection.

We have helped enough and will help again but Pakistan as a nation needs to gets its priorities right, most Pakistanis have been brainwashed into think about whose is real momineen while rioting over blasphemy or trying to kill minorities because they ''offended'' them, meanwhile millions of Pakistanis live in standards compared to most African countries, many developing countries have now left Pakistan behind in economy and living standards.

Religious extremism combined with corruption is a serious disease that needs to be operated upon, it will hurt but in the long run it will be good for Pakistan.

The assumption is that since Pakistan now has a credible government, for the first time in it's life. People will now pay income taxes. If they don't, this honest government will go after them. That is what happens in the west. Once income tax money comes in, they can then fund the social safety net.
