Every hospital I visit in Punjab has patients from K-P: Maryam Nawaz

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has criticised the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) for focusing on 'vandalism and attacks' instead of addressing public needs.

During a speech in Faisalabad, she noted that patients from K-P province are frequently found receiving treatment in hospitals of Punjab.

Maryam emphasised that while previous leaders may have made promises and delivered speeches, her administration has made significant progress by prioritising merit.

She highlighted that, despite opposition within her party, she included 90% of 'capable young people in her government.'

During the past six months, Chief Minister Mayram Nawaz's administration has created jobs for 1,000 young individuals, 'all selected based on merit rather than recommendations.'

She also announced the upcoming launch of the largest farmer support package in Pakistan's history, valued at RS 400 billion rupees, which is set to be introduced next year.

Addressing the issue of healthcare, Nawaz revealed that there is a backlog of 15,000 children needing heart surgeries, with arrangements made for immediate surgeries for 100 children, including several from K-P.

She urged K-P's leadership to focus on public welfare and infrastructure improvements rather than engaging in destructive actions and inflammatory rhetoric.
