The prime minister also thanked philanthropist Shahzad Saleem, stating that his efforts would be appreciated by future generations.
“Those who can afford the treatment will pay their expenses but people in need will be provided with free or partially free of cost treatments, through subsidization and donation funds,” the premier added.
