And the amazing thing is this medical care is been given to those who cannot afford it and the premium will be paid by kpk govt.
You remember PTI in its election manifesto said that "We will promote health insurance in Pakistan". Unfortunately PTI wasn't able to make govt in federal but in KPK PTI is fulfilling it commitments to KPK people and I am sure KPK will never forget it. Some old pathans said that last time we saw development by bhutto sb (Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto) in our province and now its PTI govt who is delivering us.

For a better future: Youth of K-P to be trained in hydropower management
PESHAWAR: To make employment opportunities and improve the present workforce, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (KP-TEVTA) has initiated competency-based training in 13 different technical training institutes for the first time across the province.
While speaking to The Express Tribune on Saturday, Government College of Technology Swat Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Micro Hydro Power project Abid Alam said in early 2015, KP-TEVTA developed a professional micro hydropower training programme which was unique in not only K-P, but Pakistan well.
He added for this purpose, selected staff was sent to ASEAN Hydropower Competence Centre (HYCOM), Indonesia in 2015 for capacity development.
Abid further said the training meant to make the participants professionally sound in hydro energy conversion and for planning, designing, installing and maintaining MHP stations at suitable sites.
Prior work
He maintained around 1,300 teachers have been trained in 79 in-service training courses that were conducted across the country. The teachers have been trained to make their students competent in the field.
He said they started the trainings in their respective institutions and currently 30 students were enrolled in the programme.
Eligibility and levels
Alam shared that a student could apply for this course after completing Secondary School Certificate.
He said in the first level, they will be informed regarding the introduction of MHP, while in the second level they will be taught about mechanical, electrical and civil constructions.
In the third level, students will learn about MHP operations and maintenance, he said, and in the fourth one trainers will impart knowledge of MHP management.
He said students from across the province can apply for this course.
Social good
Meanwhile, KP-TEVTA Chairperson Arshad Umerzai told The Express Tribune , “The training programme is not only important for economic development but would also ensure reduction in poverty and provision of a better livelihood to the young population of the province.”
He said the K-P government will try to establish technical and vocational institutes in each district and tehsil to produce skilled labour.
He pointed out K-P was blessed with the natural resource of water, which could produce almost 40,000 megawatts of hydel power.
Small hydel power plants would be installed in different areas of the province which will not only generate power but would also provide job opportunities to the youth, he said.
The two-year training programme is financially supported by foreign donors, while GIZ, a Germany-based organisation, implemented this programme in collaboration with National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) and provincial TEVTAs in November 2015.

KP govt to handover developmental affairs to local bodies: minister
He said this, while talking to a delegation of local government representatives from Chitral, which called on him, here in Civil Secretariat. The Former MNA, Maulana Abdul Akbar Chitrali, had led the delegation.
In addition to informing the finance minister regarding the financial requirements of the Tehsil Administration (TMA) Chitral, the delegation also discussed development schemes and matters relating to public welfare with him in detail.
The provincial minister said that after getting powers and resources, the elected local bodies’ representatives will have to prove their capabilities and win the hearts of the people through showing good performance. He said that the Finance Department was currently making the process of the release of funds to local government institutions fast and transparent, further adding that after the budget session of the provincial assembly, he along with the Accountant General will start visiting accounts and audit offices across the province including Chitral.
During the visits, the provincial finance minister said, not only will he review matters of funds release and other affairs, but will also collect information regarding complaints and problems of accounts offices. He said that the government wanted the introduction of transparent and judicious automotive mechanism for the utilisation of development and non-development funds in which the cooperation of all stakeholders is a must.
In response to the problems and demands highlighted by the delegation, the provincial minister assured that the second instalment of Rs. 57.2 million for the development schemes of TMA Chitral will be released during the current month. In this connection, he had already issued directives.
Similarly, he also agreed to the transfer of 44 employees of District Council to TMA and gave it his formal approval. However, he said that instead of announcing a special grant for the TMA, he will ensure the allocation of suitable funds for it. The minister clarified that in future instead of depending on governmental grants, local government institutions will have to utilise their local resources and internal financial means for municipal services and their development activities, which is the new policy of the government.

And what about CSF and aid which Punjab govt and central will receive from other countries? What about $40 million aid from Japan? what about millions of dollars aid which FATA and Pakistan received from Saudi Arabia and UAE? What about $2 billion aid which was received by Pakistan last year?
At least KPK suffered from terrorism in past due to which it is receiving aid to complete the infrastructure which suffered from war on terror unlikely your leaders whom haven't suffered badly but still receiving aid and fulfilling their pockets and offshore accounts in panama.
