She emphasized the need for Urdu signboards and floor markings to guide people within hospitals. Furthermore, she ensured the immediate supply of free medicines in all hospitals.
The Chief Minister also called for the development of a plan for field hospitals.

Important Decisions Sehat Sahulat

Card Redesign Sehat Sahulat
A proposal has been requested to identify empty and closed hospital buildings in three districts of Punjab for the construction of a new medical city. Providing medical facilities is not a favor but a basic right, and we are committed to ensuring that this right is upheld. Residents of underdeveloped and remote areas also deserve full access to medical services, and these services will be made available to them. There are no eligibility criteria for these facilities; all citizens of Punjab, regardless of their status or region, are entitled to benefit from them.
The health card will be redesigned and made functional soon. Major hospital upgrades across Punjab are expected to be completed by June. Maryam Nawaz has directed the health department to ensure that no hospital lacks doctors, staff, medicines, or essential medical equipment. Additionally, she emphasized the need to form a health advisory council to ensure transparency.
Additional Amenities In Hospitals
Hospitals were equipped with not only the necessary facilities but also additional ones, including designated prayer spaces for patients, nurses, and both male and female doctors. In response to the doctors’ requests, Maryam Nawaz promptly ordered the provision of new stretchers and wheelchairs in the Mayo emergency block. Separate prayer areas were allocated for female and male staff, ensuring everyone had a place to pray within the hospital premises.
Supply of medical equipment
Maryam Nawaz announced that highly trained staff will be provided in hospitals. Special attention will be given to cleanliness and discipline within these facilities. She also issued instructions for ensuring the provision of medical equipment in all hospitals to prevent any difficulties in patient treatment. Additionally, all basic facilities for the health care of newborn children will be made available, excluding immunizations and vaccines.
