CM Maryam launches 'clinics on wheels' project
Pakistan
Says it's her mission to provide healthcare services at people's doorsteps
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz asserts that Punjab is moving towards development and prosperity.
Addressing the 'clinics on wheels' project ceremony, the chief minister emphasised that this project would transform the health sector and facilitate the public.
She highlighted that the clinics on wheels project was equipped with all the basic medical facilities. The 200 clinics on wheels would be stationed at various points. The clinics will provide medical tests, screening, vaccination, as well as gynaecology services.
Fifty out of the 200 mobile clinics will have ultrasound facilities. Through this project, as many as four million individuals will be facilitated, particularly in areas where hospital facilities aren’t available.
Local doctors from 36 districts will be given first priority to offer their services for this project. The shortage of nurses and paramedical staff is also under consideration.
The chief minister said this project, initiated by Nawaz Sharif and halted during the previous government, was being reinitiated. She insisted that her government was on a mission to provide health facilities at the doorstep.
She also disclosed plans to build state-of-the-art cardiology hospitals in eight districts of Punjab.
CM Maryam inaugurated the clinics on wheels project where Provincial Health Minister Khawaja Salman Rafiq, Imran Nazir, and Health Secretary Ali Khan were present.
