Lahore, July 17: Punjab Minister for Information and Culture Azma Bokhari has said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the Punjab government is implementing far-reaching reforms in education, healthcare and public transport to ensure the benefits of development reach every city and every section of society.

She said the government is investing in the future of young people by providing laptops, scholarships and electric bikes, while the Nawaz Sharif School of Eminence project will promote academic excellence through high-quality education and modern learning opportunities.

Azma Bokhari said significant progress has also been made in the healthcare sector, with the Nawaz Sharif Cancer Hospital in Lahore and the Cardiology Hospital in Sargodha completed.
