Lahore: In a bid to improve service delivery and strengthen good governance, Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif has activated the Chief Minister’s Inspection Teams across the province to ensure effective monitoring of public sector institutions.

According to Radio Pakistan, the Punjab Chief Minister has introduced a new governance model under which inspection teams are actively operating in the field. These teams are submitting regular performance reports directly to the Chief Minister, while a dedicated digital dashboard has also been made operational to facilitate real-time monitoring.

On the directives of the Chief Minister, inspection teams are conducting inspections of hospitals to ensure uninterrupted provision of free medicines and essential healthcare facilities to patients. Any negligence or shortcomings in service delivery are being promptly identified for corrective action.

The monitoring drive will also be extended to the education sector and other public institutions beyond health services to further enhance accountability and efficiency. Meanwhile, inspection teams, along with Special Assistant to the Chief Minister Shoaib Mirza, have carried out surprise visits to various hospitals.

Following public complaints and inspection findings, several medical superintendents and principals have been replaced for failing to meet required performance standards. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has reiterated that public welfare, transparency, and accountability remain the top priorities of the Punjab government, and strict action will continue against officials found negligent in the performance of their duties.
