20 Pakistani children to get free treatment in India
NEW DELHI: India has offered free medical treatment to 20 Pakistani children. The scheme will be implemented through the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, an official spokesman told reporters here on Thursday. He said that so far 60 Pakistani children have received free medical treatment in India and “we are offering 20 more children to get free medical aid here”. Under the scheme, the Indian government pays the airfare and accommodation for the child and one guardian. Of the 60 children treated here in the last year, 48 were heart patients who were treated at Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital, Bangalore, and Escorts Hospital, New Delhi. “It has enabled needy and seriously ill children in Pakistan to get quality medical treatment free of cost in India,” the spokesman said. iftikhar gilani
