Sufi, while talking exclusively to The Current, said that the app will be launched in March.

He added that Humraaz will give access to help in case a citizen has suicidal thoughts or a mental health emergency. Humraaz can also be used to make appointments with psychiatrists and psychologists.

“Also they will be able to share issues they face in confidentiality,” he added.

Sufi further said that the application is being launched on the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
