Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has announced a groundbreaking initiative to provide free medicines to 200,000 patients directly at their doorsteps.
Speaking at a ceremony in Lahore, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz highlighted the significance of the project, which aims to revive and expand the home delivery of medicines initially introduced by Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif. She emphasized that despite the project’s success in providing essential medicines to hepatitis and tuberculosis patients, it was unfortunately discontinued in previous administrations, depriving people of this crucial service.
Expressing her commitment to reinstating and expanding this vital healthcare service, Maryam Nawaz underscored the importance of ensuring that no one is left without access to essential medications. She assured that the delivery personnel would adhere to strict safety protocols, providing two months’ worth of medication to patients, followed by a re-evaluation of their condition for continued support.
In her address, the Chief Minister outlined plans to further enhance healthcare services across Punjab, including the establishment of 32 field hospitals and the introduction of 200 mobile clinics in urban areas. She also announced the upcoming launch of a state-of-the-art cancer clinic in Lahore, aimed at providing comprehensive care to cancer patients.
Despite the challenges faced by previous administrations, Maryam Nawaz expressed her determination to overcome obstacles and ensure the efficient delivery of healthcare services to all citizens. She emphasized the need for political stability and continuity to achieve long-term progress and development in the healthcare sector.
