The visit also included a thorough inspection of medicine availability, doctors' attendance, and the functioning of the Chief Minister's Complaint Cell. Azmat Mehmood issued on-the-spot directives in line with the vision of Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif to improve patient care services.

To improve patient and attendant facilities, the Secretary ordered the immediate provision of chairs and benches in waiting areas.
