Punjab Government, led by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, has launched a major health program that gives free heart testing to those who need it most. The CM Punjab Free Angiography Scheme 2025 is designed to save lives by offering angiography tests for free in public hospitals. This step is part of a wider vision — a healthy Punjab where no one dies just because they cannot afford treatment.
What is Angiography?
Angiography is a medical test that shows if your heart arteries are blocked or narrow. It helps doctors find heart disease before it leads to a heart attack. Normally, this test costs over PKR 50,000 in private hospitals — a price many families in Punjab simply cannot afford.
Why This Scheme is So Important
- Heart disease is the number one cause of death in Pakistan
- Thousands of patients don’t get tested due to high costs
- Public hospitals lacked modern heart testing machines
Now, under this scheme, the government is providing modern diagnosis, expert doctors, and free testing to patients in need.
