In a significant humanitarian gesture, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial government has committed to providing complete free medical treatment for a young cancer patient from the Bajaur district.
A Critical Meeting at the Chief Minister's Office
The announcement came directly from Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi during a special meeting at his office. The young patient, Mairajuddin, visited the Chief Minister accompanied by his father. They were not alone in this crucial appeal; they were joined by Bajaur Member of Provincial Assembly Dr. Hamid and former National Assembly member Gul Zafar Khan.
During the meeting, Chief Minister Afridi took a personal interest in the case. He thoroughly reviewed all of Mairajuddin's medical records and treatment details to understand the severity of his condition and the required medical pathway.
Government's Firm Commitment to Healthcare
After his detailed assessment, Chief Minister Afridi issued special instructions to the relevant health authorities. He gave a firm assurance that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government would bear all expenses for the boy's complete and comprehensive medical treatment.
This pledge ensures that the financial burden of the expensive cancer therapy will be entirely removed from the family, allowing them to focus solely on Mairajuddin's recovery.
The Path Forward for Mairajuddin
Mairajuddin is currently receiving treatment at IRNUM Hospital in Peshawar. With the government's financial backing now secured, the medical team is set to proceed without delay. According to the doctors' recommendations, his advanced and effective treatment will begin very soon.
This decisive action by the Chief Minister highlights the provincial government's focus on supporting its citizens in times of critical health crises, setting a compassionate example for public welfare.
