Punjab Starts Health Screening of Special Children
The Punjab government has launched a comprehensive health screening program for special children across the province, aiming to identify medical conditions early and provide timely interventions. The initiative targets children with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities.
Health authorities stated that the program will include physical examinations, diagnostic tests, and assessments of nutritional and mental health. Medical teams, comprising pediatricians, therapists, and support staff, will visit schools, rehabilitation centers, and community facilities to ensure broad coverage.
Officials emphasized that early detection of health issues is critical for improving quality of life, providing necessary therapies, and supporting inclusive education. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate actively in the program and follow up on medical advice.
The initiative is part of Punjab’s broader strategy to enhance healthcare services for vulnerable populations and promote equitable access to medical resources. Experts hailed the move as a step toward a more inclusive and responsive healthcare system.
