Provincial Minister for Primary & Secondary Healthcare Khawaja Imran Nazir said that the health sector will be improved on modern scientific lines to provide quality treatment facilities to ailing humanity. Talking to media persons at DC Office during his visit to Faisalabad here on Monday, he said that Chief Minister (CM) Punjab Maryam Nawaz was committed to improving health facilities in the province. In this connection, a state-of-the-art cancer hospital would be established in Lahore and physical work on the project would start within next few months.
He said that revamping of all basic health units and rural health centers in Punjab including Faisalabad district had started and the project would be completed by March 31, 2025. He expressed concern over the medicine issue and said that a gang was busted which was involved in embezzlement of government medicines. The government has taken this issue serious and within a couple of week, 100 percent free medicines would be available in the emergencies of all government hospitals, he added.
He said that the Chief Minister was sincere about the “clinic on wheel” program and the project would help to provide treatment facilities at doorsteps of the masses. He said that during the precious tenure of the PMLN government, Shehbaz Sharif had introduced mobile hospital and now we would resume the program to facilitate the people.
Responding to a question, he said that the issues could be resolved only through dialogue not through protests.
