Maryam Nawaz Health Clinic Program 2025: A New Era of Free Healthcare in Punjab

In a bold step toward universal healthcare, the Government of Punjab has launched the Maryam Nawaz Health Clinic Program 2025, a province-wide initiative that promises free and accessible medical services for every citizen. This groundbreaking program reflects Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s vision of a healthy, empowered Punjab—where no one is denied medical help because of financial hardship.

A Vision for Accessible Healthcare

Healthcare has long been one of Punjab’s most pressing challenges, particularly in rural areas where access to hospitals and doctors is limited. The Maryam Nawaz Health Clinic Program aims to change that by setting up modern, fully equipped clinics across cities, towns, and villages.

These clinics will focus on primary healthcare—treating common illnesses, offering preventive care, and managing chronic diseases. The goal is simple yet powerful: to bring healthcare to people’s doorsteps and reduce the pressure on overcrowded hospitals.

What Services Will Be Offered?

Under this program, citizens will receive a wide range of free or low-cost medical services, including:

• General check-ups and consultations with qualified doctors

• Maternal and child healthcare, including pregnancy check-ups, safe deliveries, and postnatal care

• Vaccination programs for children and adults

• Free and subsidized medicines for essential treatments

• Basic diagnostic tests, such as blood and urine tests, at minimal cost

• Health education sessions on nutrition, hygiene, and disease prevention

Mobile health units will also visit remote villages, ensuring that people living far from cities get the same quality care as those in urban centers.

Who Can Benefit?

The program is open to all residents of Punjab, regardless of income or background. However, special priority will be given to:

• Low-income households

• Women and children

• Elderly citizens with chronic illnesses

• People living in underdeveloped or rural areas

To access services, patients simply need to bring their Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC). There is no need for online registration or lengthy paperwork—making the process simple and inclusive.

Digital and Modern Health Facilities

Each clinic will be equipped with a digital record system, allowing doctors to maintain accurate patient histories and ensure continuity of care. This technology-driven approach will also help the government monitor clinic performance, manage medicine supplies, and prevent shortages.

In addition, mobile apps and online platforms will help citizens locate the nearest clinic, check service availability, and even schedule appointments—making healthcare more organized and efficient.

Tackling Rural Healthcare Challenges

Punjab’s rural areas often face unique challenges such as doctor shortages, limited facilities, and lack of awareness about health issues. To address these, the government plans to:

• Recruit doctors and paramedics on contract to fill staffing gaps

• Use mobile vans to deliver medical care to distant communities

• Launch public awareness campaigns about hygiene, nutrition, and vaccination

• Create a centralized digital supply chain to prevent medicine shortages

Why This Initiative Matters

The Maryam Nawaz Health Clinic Program marks a major step toward achieving health equity in Punjab. For decades, access to quality healthcare has been uneven—concentrated in big cities while smaller towns and villages struggled. This program changes that by bringing free, high-quality care directly to the people.

Families who once avoided hospitals due to cost will now be able to see a doctor without worrying about fees. Mothers and children will receive timely vaccinations and care. Elderly patients will get ongoing treatment for chronic diseases without the burden of expensive bills.

A Healthier Future for Punjab

This initiative isn’t just about providing free treatment—it’s about transforming the health culture of Punjab. By emphasizing prevention, awareness, and early diagnosis, the program aims to build healthier communities and reduce the long-term burden of disease.

With hundreds of clinics planned across the province and mobile health teams ready to serve remote areas, the Maryam Nawaz Health Clinic Program 2025 has the potential to become one of the most impactful social projects in Pakistan’s history.

In essence, the program promises a future where healthcare is not a privilege but a basic right—available to every man, woman, and child in Punjab.
