In a heartfelt and groundbreaking move, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has officially launched the “CM Insulin for Diabetes” initiative — a dedicated program providing free insulin and complete diabetes care kits to children suffering from type-1 congenital diabetes across the province.
This isn’t just another health program — it’s a personal mission for the chief minister and a lifeline for hundreds of struggling families.
🎁 What’s Included in the Insulin Card Package?
Each child enrolled in the program receives a comprehensive diabetes management kit, delivered right to their doorstep. The kit includes:
- Insulin
- Glucometer
- Blood sugar test strips
- Insulin needles
💡 Everything a child with diabetes needs — at zero cost.
🏠 Home Delivery with a Human Touch
To ensure easy access and dignity, Pakistan Post is partnering with the Punjab government to deliver the insulin kits directly to families’ homes.
Here’s how it works:
- 📲 Trained postal riders use a mobile app to verify each insulin card.
- 📦 After verification, a three-month supply is handed over.
- ❄️ All medication is transported using cold chain logistics to keep insulin at the right temperature.
“No child should go without insulin because of financial hardship,” said CM Maryam Nawaz.
👩⚕️ A Vision of ‘Sehatmand Punjab’
The initiative aligns with the Sehatmand Punjab (Healthy Punjab) vision, focusing on accessible, inclusive healthcare for vulnerable communities.
Maryam Nawaz personally visited several families to deliver insulin cards and supplies, meeting with parents and hearing their concerns.
“This program is not just healthcare—it’s compassion in action,” she said.
“It’s a promise to the parents of Punjab: we see you, we hear you, and we are here to help.”
📊 First Phase: Helping 1,500 Children
The program’s initial rollout will benefit 1,500 children suffering from type-1 diabetes.
And this is just the beginning — future phases will expand coverage as the government gathers data and feedback from families and health professionals.
🧒 Why This Matters
Type-1 diabetes in children requires daily insulin, regular blood sugar monitoring, and ongoing medical support. For low-income families, this can be overwhelming.
This program provides:
- Financial relief
- Reliable access to medication
- A better quality of life for affected children
🙌 A First-of-Its-Kind Step in Pakistan
This is the first time in Pakistan that a child-focused diabetes program is being delivered directly to homes with end-to-end support — a move that sets a new standard in public healthcare delivery.
📣 Final Thoughts
The CM Insulin Card isn’t just about medicine — it’s about hope, dignity, and a healthier future for Punjab’s youngest citizens. With this bold initiative, Punjab is setting a powerful example of what people-first governance truly looks like.
