The Punjab government has taken an extraordinarily compassionate and humanitarian step by launching a free ambulance service to transport deceased patients from hospitals to their residence. In moments of profound grief, when families are already struggling with the pain of loss, this initiative offers not only practical support but also a profound sense of care and dignity. For many who cannot afford transportation in such difficult times, this service will bring immeasurable relief and comfort. This rare initiative sets a remarkable precedent in Pakistan’s history, highlighting that public service is not just about infrastructure or policies, but also about humanity, compassion and empathy. It sends a powerful message that even in grief, citizens are not alone and that their pain is acknowledged and eased by a people-centred administration.
