The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has announced that it will provide free treatment for patients with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare and challenging genetic disorder. This is great news for families struggling with the high cost of treating SMA.
The announcement was made during an event in Islamabad organized by the Strive Eradication of Disability Foundation (SEDF), a nonprofit group dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities. The goal of this initiative is to reduce the financial burden on families affected by SMA and to make sure that patients have access to the medical care they need.
SMA is a rare condition that affects a person’s ability to move, making life difficult for both patients and their families. By offering free treatment, the KP government is taking an important step to help these patients and make healthcare more inclusive. This decision will not only ease the financial challenges faced by affected families but will also ensure better medical support for patients in need.
The KP government’s plan reflects a positive move towards improving healthcare for all and supporting those who are vulnerable, promoting a society where everyone has access to essential health services.
