Punjab introduced its first cryoablation machine at Mayo Hospital in 2025. Since then, more than 70 patients suffering from Stage 1 cancer have received successful and free treatment through the facility.
Officials said the addition of the new machines would extend advanced cancer treatment facilities to other cities across Punjab, enabling patients to gain more timely and effective access to specialized care.
Health Secretary Azmat Mahmood said the adoption of modern medical technology would help strengthen the province’s healthcare infrastructure and improve access to specialized treatment.
He described the installation of the new machines as an important step towards providing better healthcare facilities to cancer patients and building a healthier Punjab.
The Health Secretary further said that the Punjab government had already provided free cancer treatment worth billions of rupees to patients across the province.
