Pakistan’s Prime Minister’s Youth Program (PMYP) and Physicians Revenue Group (PRG) have signed a letter of intent (LOI) to establish a US-based secretariat aimed at strengthening healthcare cooperation and creating employment opportunities for young Pakistanis.
The letter of intent (LOI) was signed during a meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), witnessed by Rana Mashhood Ahmed Khan, chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Program (PMYP).
The ceremony was attended by Dr. Shahbaz Shamsi, Director General, PMYP, and Mr. Mansoor Ahmed, Chairman and CEO of Physicians Revenue Group, Pakistan, alongside other officials and representatives.
The proposed PMYP United States Secretariat for Healthcare Services Cooperation will serve as a coordination platform linking Pakistani institutions with US healthcare providers, universities, professional organizations, and industry stakeholders, and members of the Pakistani-American medical community.
It will also seek to engage members of the Pakistani-American medical community to promote institutional partnerships, knowledge exchange, and professional development.
The initiative aims to create opportunities for young Pakistanis in healthcare administration, medical and dental billing, revenue cycle management, care coordination, and healthcare technology.
The Secretariat is intended as an inclusive platform serving the broader healthcare and medical billing services sector, with opportunities for engagement with other institutions and stakeholders in both countries that share the objectives of the initiative.
The collaboration recognizes the significant opportunities presented by the U.S. healthcare market and Pakistan’s growing capacity to provide skilled healthcare support services.
By connecting Pakistan’s young, educated workforce with international industry demand, the initiative seeks to promote productive employment, enhance professional development, and expand Pakistan’s healthcare services exports.
A key area of cooperation will be the development of industry standards and regulatory frameworks for Pakistan’s medical billing and healthcare services sector.
The proposed work will focus on aligning practices with applicable US data protection, privacy, and compliance requirements, with the aim of strengthening confidence among American healthcare organizations and improving Pakistan’s competitiveness in the sector.
Under the proposed framework, a focal person and a Secretariat Coordinator will be appointed to ensure effective coordination.
The two organizations will also establish a Joint Working Group to plan, monitor, and review the Secretariat’s activities and facilitate coordination with relevant Pakistani and U.S. institutions.
This strategic collaboration reflects a shared commitment to expanding international cooperation, strengthening Pakistan’s healthcare services industry, and creating sustainable economic opportunities for the country’s youth through skills development, professional engagement, and export-oriented growth.
