Punjab has acquired five state-of-the-art cryoablation machines to enhance access to sophisticated cancer care at major institutions throughout the region. These cutting-edge devices, ordered by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, are currently being installed. Two units will be set up at the Nawaz Sharif Institute of Cancer in Lahore, while one each will be installed at Nishtar Hospital, Allied Hospital, and Benazir Bhutto Hospital.
In 2025, Punjab launched its initial cryoablation machine at Mayo Hospital, which has since successfully treated more than 70 Stage 1 cancer patients free of charge. Health officials are confident that the deployment of these additional machines will broaden access to specialized cancer treatment across more cities and deliver patients quicker access to advanced care.
Azmat Mahmood, the Health Secretary, emphasized that harnessing advanced medical technology will bolster Punjab's healthcare infrastructure and improve access to specialized treatment. The government has already provided billions of rupees worth of complimentary cancer care to patients across the province.
