LNG expensive, free medical facilities launched in Punjab
The rise in LNG prices in Pakistan is feared to increase energy costs, while the Punjab government has announced a new program for free healthcare services.
Pakistan is having to pay record prices for the purchase of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), due to supply disruptions caused by tensions between Iran and the United States. This situation could affect hopes for a reduction in inflation and interest rates in the country.
The Punjab government has launched the 'Health Connect Program', under which overseas Pakistanis and foreign expert doctors will provide free treatment to patients in government hospitals. The purpose of this initiative is to improve the quality of healthcare services in the province.
