Punjab to host foreign medical experts in public hospitals

Lahore: Punjab is set to bring leading foreign medical specialists to public hospitals, allowing patients access to advanced treatment without traveling abroad. Visiting experts will work alongside local doctors, perform complex procedures, and provide hands-on training to improve the skills of healthcare professionals. Officials say the initiative will enhance the quality of treatment, strengthen specialized medical care, and support long-term improvements in the province’s public health system. Analysts note that expanding access to world-class expertise can reduce patient outflow to foreign hospitals, improve outcomes, and elevate the overall standard of healthcare across Punjab. Can this collaboration modernize public health services in the province?
