Few days back, CM Maryam rolled out the “Clinics on Wheels” project.
Addressing an event in Lahore, CM Maryam stated: “The initiatives taken by Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz were sabotaged by the previous government. It takes up to three months to organise the new government.”
“It is Nawaz Sharif who gets pleased with the launch of every project,” she added.
Speaking about the “Clinics on Wheels” projects, CM Maryam said: “It is not about the vehicle but the entire clinic, which will reach outside the doorsteps of the masses.”
She maintained: “The vehicle will be available in the underprivileged areas for six days, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The pregnant women will be given complete facilities in the ambulance.”
CM Maryam vowed to increase the doctors and paramedic staff. “Now doctors from every district will be given priority in terms of recruitment,” she said.
We are rolling out cardiology centres in eight districts, including Mianwali, Sialkot, Jehlum, and Layyah.
“I would like to ask the health secretary to roll out the free insulin project,” she said.
