The CM Children’s Heart Surgery Program is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at providing timely and high-quality medical care to children suffering from heart diseases. This program will help reduce waiting times and enhance the capacity of government hospitals to perform pediatric heart surgeries, ensuring that over 5,000 children who lose their lives annually due to delayed treatment can receive the care they need.
In the first phase, six government and private hospitals in Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi will offer pediatric heart surgery facilities, with expansion to other districts of Punjab in the second phase. Eligible children will receive Child Surgery Cards, granting them access to free treatment. The program also focuses on increasing the number of specialist surgeons and medical staff to enhance healthcare capacity.
