Lahore:
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has announced that healthcare from 911 clinics to wheels will now be delivered throughout the province.
She talked about the launch ceremony for clinic-on-wheel project phase-II, and said, “The population of Punjab has suffered tremendously in the last four years after Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif. The cancer patients had to get on the roads over being denied free medicine.”
She highlighted, “not only cancer, but also hepatitis and heart disease medicine and insulin doses are delivered at the door of patients.” People had to take leave from their jobs earlier and stand in cows to get treatment and medicine. The health services from the clinics-on-wheels will be delivered over Punjab.
She maintained, “The Clinic-on-Wheels project, originally started with 245 vehicles a few months earlier, receives excellent public feedback. Doctors, Lady Health Visitors and Allied staff work in rural rural areas for wheels, which also provide maternal and pediatric treatment and less medical procedures.”
The minister said that climbing vehicles had been purchased for the second phase of the scheme. “I felt a huge pleasure in getting treatment as a normal patient at a government hospital. I was given treatment by getting an admission gip from the hospital, MRI scanning and the doctors managed me injections,” she said.
The minister said that more than 10 million patients had received free treatment immediately through the Clinic-on-Wheels project. The clinics provide facilities to control blood pressure, undergo screening and treatment of diseases.
She emphasized, “Children suffering from malnutrition in South Punjab will be treated immediately through the clinics on wheels.”
The clinics are traced to prevent the abuse of vehicles.
