LAHORE: In order to facilitate children with diabetes, the Punjab government has launched free insulin programme.
On the directive of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, insulin will be delivered directly to the homes of type 1 diabetic children. This initiative aims to ease the daily struggles of parents and children who suffer from this lifelong condition.
Under the Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Insulin Program, registration for diabetic children has officially begun. This programme provides a unique facility where parents can register their diabetic children from the comfort of their homes.
Parents who wish to receive free insulin for their children can contact National Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) clinics located at the tehsil or district level.
In a statement, CM Maryam stated, “Little children are like flowers; we will not let them wither.”
As a mother, she expressed her heartfelt understanding of the challenges posed by such conditions. She added, “As a mother, I can feel the pain and illness of children deeply. We will ensure that insulin is provided at their homes to save them from the hardship of traveling to hospitals.”
The CM emphasised that insulin is a lifelong requirement for diabetic children, and through this programme, she aims to reduce the burden on parents.
The CM assured that the provincial government would spare no effort in providing all necessary resources to ensure proper treatment and health care for children across the province.
