Sheik Zayed’s Hospital no longer provides health card relief

The Sheikh Zayed Hospital in Lahore has stopped providing free medications to patients with health cards, according to an authentic source. As a result of administrative failure, the hospital’s health card offices have been closed by the State Life Insurance Company, according to the director of Sheikh Zayed Hospital.

ایک مستند ذریعہ کے مطابق، لاہور کے شیخ زید ہسپتال نے ہیلتھ کارڈ والے مریضوں کو مفت ادویات کی فراہمی بند کر دی ہے۔ شیخ زید ہسپتال کے ڈائریکٹر کے مطابق انتظامی ناکامی کے نتیجے میں سٹیٹ لائف انشورنس کمپنی نے ہسپتال کے ہیلتھ کارڈ دفاتر کو بند کر دیا ہے۔ ہیلتھ کارڈ آفس کی بندش سے زید ہسپتال سے مفت علاج کروانے والے مریض اب پنجاب ہیلتھ کارڈ پر ادویات اور علاج نہیں کروا سکیں گے۔

With the closure of the health card office, patients who were receiving free treatments from Zayed Hospital will no longer be able to get medicine and treatment on the Punjab Health Card.

Medicines Must Be Paid For By Patents

According to a representative from State Life Insurance firm, since hospital administration does not assist patients, patients are now required to buy medications and medical supplies from private pharmacies.

Despite the health card’s intention to provide free medical care, the hospital continues to bill patients, forcing the health card department to close.

The PHC will no longer collaborate with the Federal Hospital

Due to a lack of funds and money, the hospital Sheikh Zayed cannot provide free treatment and medicine to the health card holders, therefore they must terminate this service. It was the hospital management’s contention, however, that a lack of funding was responsible for the scarcity of medications and the need to pay contractors.

As a result, Punjab Health Company announced that it was no longer working with the federal hospital and criticized the cost to health card members.

Has the health card service been stopped in all Punjabi hospitals?

There is no accurate information about this, so the Health Card is still valid throughout Punjab, except for Sheikh Zayed’s Hospital.

In conclusion

Since a lack of funds has prevented Sheikh Zayed Hospital from providing free treatment and medicines to Punjab Health Card holders, many patients have been deprived of necessary medical care. Punjab Health Company has ended its collaboration with the hospital in response.
