Federal Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar assured the National Assembly that the government will clear all obstacles to provide free treatment for cancer patients in the capital.
In response to concerns about cancer patients not getting free medical care in Islamabad, he said over 350 needy patients are currently getting treatment at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) through an agreement with a foreign institution.
The minister acknowledged some problems caused by the increase in the dollar rate. To fix this, the government is making a Rs2.8 billion agreement with foreign pharmaceutical companies.
Minister Tarar mentioned that cancer treatment costs a lot of money and most of the funding comes from international pharmaceutical companies.
He told lawmakers that the prime minister has ordered the health department to remove all obstacles so funds for free cancer treatment can be provided.
