Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz dropped a bombshell during a surprise visit to Mayo Hospital, sacking the Medical Superintendent (MS) on March 6, 2025, after patients unleashed a barrage of complaints.
The Maryam Nawaz Mayo Hospital shake-up underscores her zero-tolerance stance on healthcare neglect, sparking swift action to overhaul the facility.
Patients and attendants swarmed the CM with grievances—scarce syringes, missing cannulas, even insects in the cardiology ward—igniting her wrath. “You don’t even know what’s happening with patients—who put you here?” she blasted the MS. “Be thankful I’m not arresting you.” Slamming the hospital’s “poor condition,” she fumed, “People come here hoping for care, but the administration’s clueless about the wards.”

She mandated 100% medicine availability, cleared medical dues pronto, and tasked the Health Secretary with rooting out culprits for punishment. Meeting a Sindh couple’s pleas and consoling a Gujranwala woman, she fast-tracked a kidney transplant for a young patient. “Negligence hits home when it’s your family,” she warned, vowing accountability. A full hospital renovation plan topped her directives.
