LAHORE: Welcoming the announcement of the Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to start Air Ambulance service in the province, health professionals expressed optimism that this service will help save precious lives.

The new Punjab CM wants the establishment of Punjab’s own air ambulance service within the first 12 weeks of her tenure. This initiative underscores her commitment to enhancing emergency medical services and ensuring timely access to critical care for Punjab’s population, particularly in remote or underserved areas where rapid transportation can be life-saving, they said.

Ameer uddin Medical & Lahore General Hospital Principal Prof Al-Fareed Zafar said the decision of CM Maryam Nawaz to start Air Ambulance service is highly commendable and in line with the needs of the time.

Due to the increasing traffic congestion on the roads, daily traffic jams and accidents on the motorways and industrial units, it was a big challenge to bring the injured to the hospital well in time due to which many precious lives lost, he added.

By this initiative hundreds of precious lives will be saved to which the prayers of the people will directly reach the Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and the government officials, he added.

Seems like the writer is extremely biased and doesn't do proper research. How many air ambulances can they launch for a population of 25 million people. This is just another stunt by PMLN.

Also I expect more research by the writer and editor. There is no content just a title with praises. Who hailed this decision? I expect better from such a renowned website.

A good initiative. A calculation should be done to see how many air ambulance/rescue helicopters are needed to cover the Punjab, and at which locations these air ambulances should be located.
