It seems that the dream came true, as the distribution of the Sehat Insaf Cards will be finally started int the district South Waziristan from Thursday.

Ajmal Wazir said that to make distribution easier and to facilitate residents in the newly-merged districts (NMDs), they were working on extracting data from their computerized National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) identity cards (CNIC).

The adviser said that Prime Minister Imran Khan wanted to assure the provision of all sorts of facilities, especially health and education to former residents of Fata areas.

The Assistant Commissioner Wana further said that the administration has divided the days so as to ensure hassle-free distribution of the Sehat Insaf Cards.

Amir Nawaz said that as per the set plan, Sehat Insaf Cards would be distributed among inhabitants of Wana tehsil and Shakkai tehsil on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; whereas, the people of Tehsil Barmal and Tehsil Tiarza people will be given Sehat Insaf Cards on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

It is pertinent to mention here that the people of the trouble-hit area of South Waziristan have been passing through great ordeals due to the absence of basic health facilities and qualified doctors in the area due to which the people are left with no option but to shift their patients to adjacent districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa even for minor ailments.
