ISLAMABAD – The federal government has proposed Rs100 billion for exigencies related to Covid-19 and other natural disasters in Budget 201-22.

Federal Minister Shaukat Tarin presented the third budget of the PTI government in National Assembly on Friday.

Tarin said $1.1 billion will be spent on importing COVID-19 vaccine besides providing funding for local production of anti Covid vaccine.

He said it is estimated that over 100 million people will be vaccinated by June next year.

Sharing details about Universal Health Coverage, he said that the scheme will be rolled out further in collaboration with the provinces. He added every household will be provided with a Sehat-Card.
