Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said his New Year resolutions were to provide universal health coverage to all citizens and launch of a nationwide project to check hunger.
“My New Year resolution for 2021 is to complete two projects. One, universal health coverage to all our citizens… Two, we will start our most ambitious nationwide project ‘Koi Bhuka Na Soyay’ (No one should sleep hungry in Pakistan),” the Prime Minister said in a series of tweets.
2020 was a tough year for us & for people across the world bec of Covid19. But by the grace of God we fared far better than most. We not only managed to protect our ppl but also saved them from hunger. We are moving forward to making Pakistan a Welfare State.

The Prime Minister said by the end of year, these two projects will “move us closer to our goal of making Pakistan a welfare state”.
He said universal health coverage was already launched in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa and hoped that it would soon be replicated in Punjab and Gilgit Baltistan.
Our Ehsaas programme provides social security & our health card scheme provides the poor with proper medical access. My New Year resolution for 2021 is to complete two projects. One, universal health coverage to all our citizens. It has begun in KP & will soon in Punjab & GB.
