She reportedly expressed her concern over the emotional toll on parents struggling to afford daily treatment, stating that no child should be deprived of insulin due to financial constraints.
The initiative, part of the broader Sehatmand Punjab vision, aims to make critical healthcare accessible to underprivileged families.
First Full Diabetes Kit for Juvenile Patients
Officials highlighted that this is the first program in the country to provide a complete set of diabetes care tools to young patients.
Along with insulin, children are receiving glucometers and testing supplies to help them monitor their condition at home.
The chief minister is said to have remarked that ensuring the health of children is not just a policy goal but a moral responsibility, especially as the number of juvenile diabetes cases continues to rise at an alarming rate.
Home Delivery Through Pakistan Post
In an innovative collaboration, the Punjab government has partnered with Pakistan Post to deliver the insulin kits directly to recipients.
The program’s first phase will cover 1,500 children, who will receive a three-month supply at their doorstep.
