Providing better health facilities to the patients coming to the government hospitals of Punjab is one of our top priorities.

Health Secretary Ali Jan Khan has been instructed to immediately send a requisition to the Punjab Public Service Commission for the recruitment of vacant posts in the Health Department.

The people of Punjab will be provided with more facilities in empanelled hospitals through Sehat Sahulat Cards. For the convenience of the people of Punjab, more and more government and private hospitals will be empanelled. Credit for providing Sehat Sahulat card to all families of Punjab is a great example of Imran Khan's enlightenment.
