Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has opened KINOR Muzaffarabad for cancer treatment for the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK)
In a great move for Pakistan’s healthcare, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has opened the Kashmir Institute of Nuclear Medicine, Oncology and Radiology (KINOR) in Muzaffarabad. This place is a game-changer for spotting and treating cancer for the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), especially those who live far away from cities.
The Prime Minister said helping people with cancer is really important. He thinks everyone should be able to get good healthcare, no matter where they live or how much money they have.
Better Cancer Treatment, Closer to Home
For years, people in AJK with cancer have had a tough time. They’ve had to travel far to get treatment, which costs a lot of money and puts stress on their families. The new KINOR Muzaffarabad cancer center wants to change that by providing modern cancer services right here.
Now, patients don’t have to go all the way to Islamabad, Lahore, or Karachi for cancer care. This saves them money and time, and it also means they can get diagnosed and treated sooner, which can really help them survive.
PAEC Doing More for Public Health
KINOR Muzaffarabad is the 21st cancer center that the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) is helping with. This shows that PAEC is doing more than just working with energy; they’re also helping people stay healthy. PAEC has built a bunch of hospitals all over the country that provide good cancer care at prices people can afford.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised PAEC for their work. He said they’ve been helping the country’s health for years and have saved a lot of lives.
KINOR is more than just a building
At the opening event, the Prime Minister said it’s important to screen for cancer early, teach people about it, and get them medical help quickly. He said that one of the biggest problems is that people find out they have cancer too late, especially in rural areas where it’s hard to get to a doctor.
KINOR Muzaffarabad will also teach people about the signs of cancer, how to prevent it, and why it’s important to get regular checkups. This could really change how things are for cancer patients in this area.
KINOR is more than just a building; it’s a sign of hope for many families. It shows that the government wants to help everyone and make sure they can get good healthcare. For people fighting cancer, this center gives them not just treatment, but also respect and a reason to feel positive.
This opening is a big step in making sure that everyone, even in the most remote places in Pakistan, can get good medical care.
The new KINOR Muzaffarabad cancer center shows that Pakistan wants everyone to have access to good healthcare. As the country continues to improve its medical facilities, places like this will be very important in making the nation healthier and stronger.
