Improved Cardiac Care for Murree Residents
Great news for residents of Murree! If you’ve been dealing with heart issues, the days of traveling to Rawalpindi for treatment are officially over. The newly inaugurated Nawaz Sharif Cardiac Centre, located at the Mohammad Hussain Samli Sanatorium-cum-General Hospital, promises to provide essential cardiac surgeries and bypass procedures right in your community. This is a game-changer, as heart ailments often need quick medical attention, and now that care is close to home.
At the grand opening, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz emphasized the importance of local healthcare, explaining that many patients previously faced significant hardships due to the distance to specialized treatment. “To bridge this critical gap, we have now ensured the availability of quality cardiac care within Murree,” she stated proudly.
But the news doesn’t stop there! Along with the cardiac center, a major redevelopment of Murree’s historic Mall Road is underway, driven by a multi-billion-rupee investment. This project aims to enhance the region’s environmental and recreational offerings, with plans for a Biodiversity Park, Wildlife Park, and several new parks like Bansra Gali and Karshee Park. These developments are set to transform Murree into a more vibrant tourist destination while ensuring locals benefit as well.
Maryam also highlighted the introduction of shuttle bus services between central Murree and the Samli Hospital. Public transport options are critical, especially for those who may have difficulty reaching the new cardiac facility. Furthermore, the launch of the Glass Train/Automated Rail Transit (ART) system is on the horizon, signaling an exciting time for local infrastructure improvements.
With the government actively taking charge to devolve important services—such as health, education, and tourism—to Murree’s local administration, residents can expect a more responsive and tailored approach to their needs. Maryam pointed out the recent construction of roads that enhance accessibility, while also pledging to combat illegal timber trading and unsightly constructions that threaten Murree’s natural beauty.
Moreover, plans are underway to introduce electric buses, offering free rides for students, women, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities. This commitment to eco-friendly transport is just another step towards improving life in the region.
In addition to local advancements, Maryam also touched upon other key health initiatives in Punjab, like the rapid progress on the Nawaz Sharif Cancer Hospital in Lahore and the newly operational cardiology center in Sahiwal, which aims to fill the substantial gap in cardiac care in that area.
With all these exciting developments, it’s clear that Murree is on the rise, not just as a tourist destination but as a community that prioritizes health and wellness. This focus on accessible, quality healthcare is essential for a thriving population. If you want to stay updated on these developments and more, consider connecting with initiatives like Pro21st.
