Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the Chief Minister of Punjab, has initiated a unique initiative to enhance the quality of life of individuals with disabilities by providing them with assistive devices.
Applications are currently being accepted for the provision of assistive devices, such as complimentary wheelchairs, to individuals with mobility impairments throughout Punjab in accordance with her directives. Their mobility and accessibility will be improved by the use of these devices.
