Provision of facilities to people at their doorstep is the first priority of the government. Once these projects are complete, people will be able to avail international standard health services. Along with new projects, the upgradation work of existing facilities is also underway.
The DG Khan Institute of Cardiology will cater to cardiac complications in South Punjab. Dental College Jubilee Town Lahore was deliberately left incomplete by past government and it now will provide quality services to people in the area. We want to provide maximum relief in health to people to Punjab.
Development in health and education is the foremost priority of Prime Minister Imran Khan and he is working for our coming generations. We are spending public money on public alone. We will not allow anyone to waste tax payers money. Improving the standard of living and provision of basic services are our only priorities.”— PRES RELEASE
