Punjab Chief Minister Launches ‘Clinics on Wheels’ Project for Urban Slums

Lahore: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has officially launched the ‘Clinics on Wheels’ project in Lahore today, a transformative initiative aimed at improving healthcare access for millions of residents across the province. The project will deploy 200 mobile clinics to reach an estimated four million people, bringing essential healthcare services directly to their doorsteps. These mobile clinics will focus on densely populated urban areas, where access to healthcare can often be a challenge for many people, particularly those who face difficulties in reaching hospitals. Speaking at the inauguration, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif emphasized the provincial government’s commitment to making healthcare more accessible. “We are bringing health services right to the people, especially in areas where hospital access is limited,” she said. “This initiative reflects our ongoing efforts to improve public health and ensure that every citizen has access to the care they need, regardless of where they live.” The ‘Clinics on Wheels’ project is part of the Punjab government’s broader efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure and ensure that no one is left behind, particularly in urban centers with high populations.
