Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged female doctors to register themselves for the government's Tele Health Portal as they would be able to reach women in "far-flung areas".

He said: "This year our nation will have to join forces to fight against the virus. We previously launched an initiative for tele education and now are launching this initiative for tele health."

He added that lady doctors should volunteer for the programme as their advice will be useful for women living in rural areas. "Even when coronavirus ends, we will continue [on] this portal," he said.
