KP's emergency cab service to take people to hospitals for free

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's hospitals have a high patient flow. But for many, actually getting to a hospital, especially in an emergency situation, is a hassle because of mobility issues.  The residents of KP and the newly-merged districts, however, can now breathe a sigh of relief as KP's health department has decided to launch the Insaf Emergency Cab Service to facilitate the underprivileged at their doorstep with quick and quality health services.
