Speaking at an event in Islamabad, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said the Sindh government is working across sectors to improve services, from hospitals to education. He highlighted a focused push to strengthen Sindh healthcare, saying global-standard facilities are now being provided free to patients across the province.
Bilawal noted that Jinnah Hospital has been upgraded to international standards and that the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) is offering free treatment for heart conditions. He added that 11 NICVD-style hospitals have been established in Sindh to expand cardiac care access.
On cancer treatment, Bilawal said the province now provides expensive cancer care free of charge and has introduced CyberKnife technology for the first time in Sindh. These moves form part of broader health sector reforms the provincial government is pursuing to make high-end care available without cost barriers.
Beyond health, Bilawal pointed to progress in education and economic uplift. He said the number of universities in Sindh has doubled under the provincial government and that a poverty reduction program has been launched alongside distribution of 200,000 solar systems to households. He also mentioned that revenue collection has improved thanks to government efforts.
The Islamabad ceremony was attended by Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah and provincial ministers including Jam Khan Shoro, Sardar Mohammad Bux Mahar, Sharjeel Inam Memon and Nasir Shah, who joined in recognising the province’s ongoing development initiatives.
