Federal Health Minister Syed Mustafa Kamal has said that a new telemedicine initiative will substantially lessen the strain on hospitals.
Presiding over a meeting in Islamabad concerning Pakistan’s national Telemedicine Project, Kamal emphasized the program’s importance, particularly for low-income and marginalized communities facing barriers to accessing medical services due to travel costs.
The minister highlighted how the initiative could make healthcare more accessible for these vulnerable populations. The meeting focused on the implementation and potential impact of the telemedicine project.
