The Chief Minister praised Dr Khan’s decision to return to Pakistan after extensive professional experience in the United Kingdom, highlighting it as a commendable act of public service and dedication to the nation.

In a significant development, Maryam Nawaz reiterated her administration’s commitment to transforming the Jinnah Institute of Cardiology into a premier center for heart treatment and medical excellence.
