October 15, 2026 • 2 hours ago •

PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has refuted claims attributed to Health Advisor Lieutenant General (R) Nigar Johar Khan regarding the termination of the health card program. In a statement released on October 13, 2026, the provincial government clarified that these assertions are false and misleading.

Information and Public Relations Advisor Samar Haroon Bilour emphasized that the health card initiative remains intact and continues to provide essential healthcare services to the citizens of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Bilour’s remarks come in response to growing concerns and misinformation circulating in the media about the future of the health card program.

The health card program has been a significant part of the provincial government’s efforts to enhance healthcare access for its residents, particularly in underserved areas. The initiative has garnered praise for its role in improving health outcomes and reducing financial burdens on families seeking medical care.

Moving forward, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government plans to hold a press conference to further clarify the status of the health card program and address any public concerns. Officials are committed to ensuring transparency and maintaining public trust in the healthcare system.
