CM inaugurates Cath Lab at DHQ Hospital in Jhelum

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz inaugurated a new cardiac catheterization laboratory (Cath Lab) at the District Headquarters Hospital in Jhelum. The chief minister explained that the new facility would eliminate the need for patients to travel to other cities for cardiac treatments. During the visit, Nawaz toured the hospital wards, semi-modular unit, and operation theatre.

She also examined the quality and expiry dates of the medicines and injections before observing a live angiography procedure. A Dubai-based patient who had undergone free cardiac treatment in Jhelum shared his experience with Nawaz. Zahida Bibi, a beneficiary of the Apni Chhat Apna Ghar scheme, welcomed the chief minister at her newly built four-marla house in New Abadi Islam Pura.

The house was constructed with a loan under the low-cost housing scheme, and Bibi expressed her gratitude. Nawaz praised the scheme, calling it Punjab's largest low-cost housing project, which has gained international recognition. The chief minister also inaugurated the restoration project of the Gymnasium and Sports Complex in Jhelum.

Upon arrival, sports players greeted her with enthusiasm, and she interacted with them by playing badminton and chess. Nawaz signed autographs, posed for photos, and received a gift from a young player. She also visited Old Ram Din Bazaar, where the Model Bazaar in Jhelum was upgraded with pedestrian walkways, footpaths, benches, and attractive canopies. The renovation project is estimated at Rs 1.195 billion.
