What Will Community Health Inspectors Do?
The Maryam Nawaz Community Health Inspector Programme focuses on expanding preventive and basic healthcare services at the community level.
Community health inspectors will conduct door-to-door visits as part of their responsibilities under the programme.
They will also create digital health profiles for households and maintain relevant patient records.
In addition, inspectors will support disease surveillance activities within their assigned communities.
Their duties may also include basic diagnostic checks, including blood sugar testing.
They will assist with vaccination activities, including polio immunisation, as part of community healthcare efforts.
When patients require further treatment, inspectors will refer them to hospitals for appropriate medical care.
Bringing Healthcare Closer to Households
The programme is designed to make basic healthcare more accessible by taking services directly to people’s homes.
It particularly focuses on communities where access to healthcare services remains limited.
By assigning women to their nearest areas or union councils, the initiative also aims to strengthen local healthcare outreach.
The Punjab government has described the programme as an important step towards improving preventive healthcare across the province.
Meanwhile, the Rs50,000 monthly honorarium provides selected women with financial compensation for their community healthcare services.
Women who meet the announced criteria now have until September 20, 2026, to submit their applications.
The programme combines grassroots healthcare outreach with employment opportunities for women across Punjab.
