PPP manifesto focuses on providing quality healthcare without discrimination: Bilawal
\n KARACHI
\nPakistan People\u2019s Party (PPP) Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday said that providing free, world-class healthcare to all citizens\u2014without discrimination of colour, race or religion lies at the heart of the PPP\u2019s manifesto. He said his party\u2019s government in Sindh has built a sustainable public healthcare network that is no longer measured against other provinces, but benchmarks itself against global standards.
\nAccording to the press release issued by the Media Cell Bilawal House, the PPP Chairman inaugurated the newly constructed state-of-the-art building of the Indus University Hospital, developed with the support of the Government of Sindh, and said that inaugurating this landmark project on Christmas Day carried deep symbolic meaning.
\n\u201cAll religions teach us compassion and the duty to care for the poor, the sick and the most vulnerable segments of society,\u201d he said. He added that the PPP government in Sindh remains committed to providing world-class healthcare facilities to the people without discrimination of any kind, emphasizing that care for the underprivileged lies at the very core of the PPP\u2019s political philosophy. \u201cRoti, Kapra aur Makaan is not merely a slogan; it is a manifesto, an ideology and a way of life. We believe it is the fundamental responsibility of the state to protect and uplift the poor,\u201d he said.
\nChairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that since the PPP assumed the reins of the Sindh government, the province\u2019s healthcare system has undergone a transformative change. \u201cWe are no longer competing with other provinces; we are competing on a global scale,\u201d he said. He praised the Indus Health Network and other partners of the Government of Sindh for their invaluable contributions to the health sector, and emphasized that these partnerships must be further expanded to extend world-class healthcare facilities to people living in underserved and remote areas.
\nHe said that through collaboration with institutions such as the Indus Hospital, SICVD, SIUT, the Child Welfare Foundation and NICH, the Sindh government has built a comprehensive and sustainable public healthcare network across the province.
\nHighlighting achievements in cardiac care, Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that whenever heart treatment is discussed internationally, the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) is cited as a global model, being the world\u2019s largest hospital providing free cardiac care.
\nHe pointed out that the advanced medical facilities available free of cost at the hospital in the small Sindh tehsil of Gambat are still unavailable even in major cities like Lahore.
\nSindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, provincial ministers, members of the assembly, and other political and social figures were also present on the occasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
