CM Punjab Insulin Program 2025: A Lifeline for Diabetic Children in Punjab
In a major move to address a critical healthcare gap, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has formally launched the Insulin Program 2025 as part of a broader vision to make Punjab a welfare hub. The initiative is a ray of hope for thousands of children suffering from Type 1 diabetes who previously had limited access to life-saving insulin therapy. With an emphasis on convenience, compassion and continuity of care, the program is not just a health scheme, but a life-changing opportunity for affected families. This article explores the key features of the program, its impact, and how families can enroll, along with a brief section of the FAQ for quick reference.
What Is The Punjab Insulin Program
Diabetes, especially type 1 diabetes in children, is a growing concern in Pakistan. Untreated or poorly managed diabetes can lead to life-threatening complications, including organ failure and death. Traditionally, insulin, the life-saving hormone for diabetics, has been either inaccessible or unaffordable for underprivileged families. This has left many children suffering silently or with dangerous health deficiencies. Realizing the gravity of the crisis, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz introduced the Chief Minister Punjab Free Insulin Program 2025, which aims to provide free insulin, home delivery and medical assistance to diabetics.
