As many as 2,524 doctors, 2,482 women medical officers, 408 consultants and 32 cardiologists had already been recruited. In addition, 7,572 lady health visitors (LHVs) and 5,048 support staff had been posted in hospitals across the province.
Presiding over a video-link meeting, the chief minister decided to transform 300 Maryam Nawaz Hospitals (Rural Health Centres) into fully-fledged hospitals and noted that the 911 Clinics on Wheels had provided medical care to 30 million patients within a short period.
The meeting also decided to introduce digital medical boxes for Clinics on Wheels for the first time in Punjab. The boxes will facilitate ultrasound, blood sugar, CBC and ECG tests through a single system. A camera can also be connected to the digital medical box for teleconferencing, while a mobile-linked smart ultrasound device will also be introduced.
Maryam Nawaz directed that 40,000 doctors and allied health professionals be recruited for hospitals across Punjab.
The chief minister ordered the provision of a new CT scan machine in every district and directed the establishment of telemedicine centres for seasonal and common diseases. Patients will be able to consult doctors through video calls at the centres and, where necessary, be referred to the relevant hospital and ward. The telemedicine centre will also facilitate appointments with the relevant ward, laboratory or other facility.
Maryam Nawaz ordered immediate replacement of the medical superintendents of four hospitals over poor performance and negligence of duties. She also directed the formation of a pool of doctors and MSs to deal with emergency situations.
She directed that cleanliness and parking facilities at district and tehsil headquarters hospitals be improved.
For the first time in Punjab, Clinic Quality Control Officers will be appointed to assess the quality of treatment being provided to patients. A Directorate of Monitoring and Surveillance has also been established in Primary Healthcare to ensure 24-hour digital monitoring of every hospital.
The digital monitoring system will cover DHQ and THQ hospitals, Maryam Nawaz Hospitals, Maryam Nawaz Health Clinics, Field Hospitals and Clinics on Wheels.
The meeting was informed that Community Health Monitoring Health Inspectors had completed the registration and data collection of more than 119.8 million people across Punjab.
Medicines were delivered to the homes of 3,444 Type-1 diabetes patients, 14,286 hepatitis patients and 13,864 TB patients. The meeting also agreed on legislation to link private clinics with the Health Information Management System (HIMS).
Provincial Secretary Primary and Secondary Healthcare and Population, Nadia Saqib, gave a detailed briefing during the video-link meeting.
