      <title>Punjab minister Maryam Aurangzeb conducts surprise visit to hospital in disguise</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330420608/punjab-minister-maryam-aurangzeb-conducts-surprise-visit-to-hospital-in-disguise</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Punjab’s Senior Minister Maryam Aurangzeb conducted a surprise inspection of Lahore General Hospital by disguising herself as a regular citizen.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wearing a face mask and plain attire, she visited the hospital’s emergency department, medical wards, gynecology, and labour rooms without prior notice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During her visit, Aurangzeb personally interacted with patients, inquiring about the availability of medical services and essential medicines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She found the emergency services to be in a satisfactory state, and noted that a recorded audio message from the Punjab chief minister, announcing the provision of free medicines,
was being played on loudspeakers within the facility.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aurangzeb expressed satisfaction with the overall cleanliness, staff presence, and delivery of healthcare services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She also confirmed that the distribution of free medicines to patients was underway as per the government’s promise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is not the first time the minister has conducted a covert inspection. On March 30, she had similarly visited Jinnah Hospital and the Children’s Hospital in disguise to monitor conditions without alerting staff in advance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her visits are part of a broader initiative to ensure transparency, accountability, and improved healthcare standards across Punjab’s public hospitals.&lt;/p&gt;
