A proposed plan for dependable public healthcare in Punjab — close to home, respectful in treatment and honest in administration.
Strong public hospitals
We propose upgrading district and sub-divisional hospitals so that serious treatment does not always require travelling to another city or a private facility.
Functional wards, clean facilities and working equipment
Maintenance contracts audited and published
Primary and rural health centres
Primary health centres and rural dispensaries are proposed to run on fixed, published timings with regular doctor availability.
Published duty rosters at every centre
Mobile health visits for remote villages
Doctors, staff and essential medicines
We propose transparent recruitment of doctors, nurses and technicians, and a reliable supply of essential medicines at government facilities.
Regular recruitment against sanctioned posts
Essential-medicine stock displayed publicly
Diagnostics and emergency care
Laboratory and imaging services, ambulances and round-the-clock emergency rooms are proposed to be strengthened at district level.
Common tests available at government rates
Ambulance response monitored and reported
Maternal, child and mental health
We propose safe maternity services, child immunisation and nutrition support, and mental-health counselling without stigma.
Trained maternity staff at every delivery point
District-level counselling and helpline support
Addiction treatment and accountability
Addiction is proposed to be treated as a health issue with medical de-addiction, counselling and rehabilitation — and hospital administration is proposed to be answerable to the public it serves.
De-addiction and rehabilitation with follow-up care
Public grievance system with time-bound replies
