LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif said, “It was my dream to provide free and immediate treatment to the poor at their doorstep. I have always used my power and authority for the welfare of the people. The real work of serving the people in the health sector was done during the tenures of Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and Muhammad Nawaz Sharif.”While addressing the launching ceremony of Clinic-on-Wheels Phase-II project, the CM said, “The people of Punjab have suffered immensely in the last four years after the tenure of Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif. The cancer patients had to come on the roads for being denied free medicines. Thanks to Allah Almighty that not only cancer but also hepatitis, cardiac diseases, medicine and insulin doses for two months are being delivered at the doorsteps of patients. The health services on 911 Clinic-on-Wheels will be provided across Punjab from today onwards.”She outlined, “It is a real revolution, a revolution in terms of providing access to the best health facilities to the people at large. Medicines are being delivered to people at their doorsteps. I congratulate Provincial Minister Khawaja Imran Nazir, Health Secretary Nadia Saqib and the entire team on the timely launching of Clinic-on-Wheels Phase-II project, which was initially started with 245 vehicles a few months earlier, is receiving excellent public feedback. Doctors, LHVs and allied staff are working in the rural areas as field hospitals on Clinic-on-Wheels. Clinic-on-Wheels also provide maternal, pediatric treatment and other minor medical procedures.”
