The Nawaz Sharif Cancer Hospital in Lahore and the Cardiology Hospital in Sargodha have been completed, while patients at government hospitals across Punjab are receiving free medicines and all essential diagnostic tests at no cost, ensuring access to quality healthcare for every citizen, he said.
The Information Minister said that to provide modern, safe and environmentally friendly transport facilities, the network of green electric buses is being expanded from district headquarters to tehsil level across Punjab.

Azma Bokhari said that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has ensured that government resources and public services reach every corner of Punjab.

She said this commitment to public service, effective governance and welfare-oriented policies is what distinguishes the Maryam Nawaz government from previous administrations.
