Federal Minister for Health Mustafa Kamal held a special meeting with Chairman NADRA, Lieutenant General Muhammad Munir Afsar, regarding the vision of “One Patient One ID”. "There is no comprehensive data available on patients’ medical history in Pakistan’s health system," said Minister Mustafa Kamal. "We are introducing a single MR number across Pakistan," said Mustafa Kamal. "The national identity card number will now serve as the MR number," said Mustafa Kamal. "It must be noted that NADRA is Pakistan’s largest data bank," said Mustafa Kamal. "Under this system, access to a patient's medical record from anywhere in Pakistan at any time will be possible," said Mustafa Kamal. "The Ministry of Health and NADRA will work together to deliver healthcare services to people’s doorsteps," said Mustafa Kamal. "Through telemedicine, doctors and medicines will be brought to patients’ doorsteps," said Mustafa Kamal. "Utilizing modern technology is the need of the hour," said Mustafa Kamal. "Due to increasing population and pressure on medical services, healthcare centers are under stress," said Mustafa Kamal. "Seventy percent of people go to large hospitals for treatment instead of visiting basic health units," said Mustafa Kamal. "Every possible step will be taken to provide quality healthcare services to the public," said Mustafa Kamal. "Promoting digital health can make the health system more effective and sustainable," said Mustafa Kamal. "This is the time to move beyond traditional methods and include digital health in our policies," said Mustafa Kamal. ******
