The caretaker chief minister has provided 24/7 facility of primary angioplasty to patients in cardiology hospitals in view of people friendly policy. Grand operation has been launched against the quacks in Punjab. We want to create convenience for the people of Punjab.

The facility of primary angioplasty was earlier only for elite class. Caretaker Chief Minister Punjab Mohsin Naqvi has provided the facility of primary angioplasty to every heart patient. Action will be taken fearlessly against the quacks in Punjab.
