Chief Minister Approves The Use Of ‘CyberKnife’ Cancer Treatment Technology In Two Hospitals

CM Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has allowed the implementation of “Cyberknife Technology” at Jinnah Hospital Lahore and Nishtar Hospital Multan. Using this technology, patients will obtain free sophisticated treatments and will be treated for terminal diseases such as cancer and tumors, as well as other complex disorders. Doctors in the appropriate fields will obtain advanced training in operating this technology and administering treatment regimens. Prior to this initiative, the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC) Radiation Oncology Department, which also delivered Tomotherapy to patients, had access to CyberKnife Technology. Doctor Yasmeen Rashid stated:

Cyberknife treatment for cancer patients in Punjab is now available through the Sehat Sahulat Card, and data on cancer patients receiving treatment with this card will be collected.

Cyberknife technology provides a non-invasive treatment alternative for both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors, as well as other conditions where radiation therapy is prescribed. It is used to treat a variety of conditions across the body, including prostate, lung, brain, spine, head & neck, liver, pancreatic, kidney, and gynecologic issues. It can also be used instead of surgery for some individuals with inoperable or difficult-to-operate cancers.

During a meeting, the CM announced that this approach has been integrated into the Punjab government’s Health Card Program via Ghurki Hospital.

He also stated that the government would consider giving Allama Iqbal Medical College in Lahore the status of a university, and that relevant legislation would be finalized following an early decision.

Dr. Abdul Majeed Ch. of the AIMC, Dr. Nadeem Hafeez Butt., Principal Secretary to CM Muhammad Khan Bhatti., Secretary of Finance., and Special Secretary of Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education attended the meeting. Furthermore, the CM directed the administration to complete the preparations on schedule while maintaining CCTV surveillance of entry and exit points and presided over a meeting to discuss plans, security measures, and other topics for Raiwind Ijtima. He stated that, in addition to more patrolling officers, more cameras should be placed for this reason. He also suggested that extra wardens be engaged to guarantee that traffic flows smoothly.

Dr. Yasmin Rashid, Punjab’s health minister, met with State Life Insurance Company personnel on Thursday. In Lahore, Chairman Shoaib Javed, Divisional Head Muhammad Ashar, and Regional Chief Dr. Noor represented State Life Insurance Company.
