Health insurance scheme for journalists to be restarted
Published
Federal Secretary for Information Ashfaq Ahmad Khalil has said that the health insurance facility for journalists will be provided again in an improved form. This scheme was meant to help journalists working in Pakistan with their medical treatment.
He emphasised that the new scheme will be made more effective than before. However, he has not yet provided any clear information about the complete details of the scheme, such as its scope, funding, and registration procedure.
Journalistic organisations have long been demanding that journalists and their families have access to basic healthcare facilities, as many people associated with this field face limited incomes and uncertain conditions.
The government's announcement of the restoration of this scheme is being regarded as an important development for the journalist community. More details on this are expected to emerge in the coming days.
