Govt Reverses Decision to Name Lahore Cardiac Hospital After Maryam Nawaz

The Punjab government has reversed its decision to name a new cardiac facility in Lahore after Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, following public backlash. Initially announced during the hospital’s inauguration, the move faced criticism for politicizing healthcare. A government spokesperson later clarified that no official naming had taken place and the final decision would be made by the cabinet. The reversal highlights growing sensitivity around naming public institutions after political figures in Pakistan.
