CM Punjab is focusing on providing high-quality health services to the people of Punjab, particularly the poor and deserving. Public service initiatives are aimed at providing free flour and rations to homes during Ramadan, free medicines for chronic disease patients, and air ambulances for hilly areas. The Field Hospital and Clinic in Wells project has also been launched across the country, benefiting millions of people in Punjab. The government has created various health services, including the air ambulance, to ensure timely treatment for patients. The Field Hospital and Clinic in Wells project is a notable achievement in Punjab’s healthcare system.
Free medications delivered to your door
Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, has announced the restarting of the free medicines program, which was initially launched during the reign of Hon’ble Nawaz Sharif. The program, which initially cost two billion but has now expanded to six billion, aims to provide free medicines to patients with chronic diseases such as TB, hepatitis, cancer, and diabetes at their homes. The initiative was initiated due to political differences, causing many patients to suffer due to delayed access to medicines. The program aims to alleviate the financial burden of cancer treatment in Pakistan, which is expensive for the poor and deserving.
Field Hospital
The Punjab Chief Minister, Ms. Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has completed the establishment of 32 field hospitals across the province since May 1st. These hospitals provide health services to people at home, visiting rural areas, offering X-ray laboratory tests and minor surgery facilities. They can also be converted into operation theatres in emergencies. Children’s immunization facilities are also provided, and ladies health workers have been appointed. Additionally, about 200 clinics on wheels have been provided across Punjab, serving as mobile hospitals that provide health services to people at home.
These clinics visit villages, provide treatment facilities, and offer lab tests, X-rays, and maternity and child labour facilities. Highly trained staff are deployed to provide immunizations and free medicines. These clinics are located in all small towns of Punjab, providing health services to people at home.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the healthcare initiatives led by CM Punjab represent a transformative effort to provide accessible and high-quality health services to the people of Punjab, particularly the underprivileged. From free medicine delivery for chronic disease patients to the establishment of field hospitals and mobile clinics, these programs are redefining healthcare accessibility. Projects like the air ambulance service for remote areas and the Field Hospital and Clinic in Wells project showcase the government’s commitment to addressing the healthcare needs of rural and underserved communities.
