A Landmark Step Towards Advanced Pediatric Care at Lahore General Hospital Today marked a significant academic milestone at Lahore General Hospital as renowned pediatric bone marrow transplant expert, Dr. Nasir Bukhari, delivered an enlightening and thought-provoking lecture on the latest global guidelines in bone marrow transplantation and gene therapy. The session proved to be a highly engaging and informative learning experience for all participants. Dr. Bukhari shed light on emerging trends that are set to revolutionize the future of medical treatment—particularly for chromosomal and genetic disorders. The audience was introduced to the concept of precision medicine, where treatment is tailored down to the DNA level, and how innovations such as gene therapy and bone marrow transplantation are becoming increasingly central to clinical practice. Most importantly, these advanced treatment modalities, once thought to be out of reach for the average citizen, are now being made accessible through the Government of Punjab’s Health Card initiative. This initiative is poised to bridge the gap between cutting-edge science and public healthcare delivery. As part of this visionary session, a strategic roadmap was also discussed for bringing state-of-the-art treatment facilities to Lahore General Hospital—especially for children suffering from thalassemia and pediatric cancers. Plans are underway to establish a dedicated unit equipped with the latest therapies and infrastructure. With strong professional insight, government support, and institutional commitment, Lahore General Hospital is moving confidently toward becoming a centre of excellence in pediatric hematology and oncology. Insha’Allah, the coming days will see the translation of these plans into action, ensuring hope and healing for hundreds of young lives.
