Province-Wide Expansion of Kero Ablation Technology
According to reliable sources, the Punjab government has decided to provide one Kero Ablation Machine to each divisional headquarters hospital. This initiative aims to standardize cancer treatment across the province, ensuring that patients from all regions have access to advanced medical technology.
This move will greatly reduce the burden on Lahore’s hospitals and make modern treatment available closer to patients’ homes.
What is a Kero Ablation Machine?
The Kero Ablation Machine is a modern medical device used to treat tumors through thermal ablation. It works by using heat to destroy cancerous cells with precision and minimal damage to surrounding tissues. The procedure is:
- Minimally invasive
- Less painful than surgery
- Offers faster recovery times
- Often used as an alternative to surgery for certain types of tumors
Its effectiveness in treating solid organ tumors makes it a valuable addition to public hospitals.
Benefits of Kero Ablation Technology
- Cost-effective treatment for patients
- No need for major surgery
- Shorter hospital stay
- Fewer side effects
- Ideal for patients who are not fit for surgery
By bringing this technology to Holy Family Hospital, many underprivileged patients will now have access to a treatment that was previously limited to private or international healthcare setups.
Government’s Effort to Modernize Public Healthcare
This development is part of a larger initiative by the Punjab government to strengthen the province’s public healthcare system. By introducing machines like the Kero Ablation Machine in multiple districts, the government is ensuring:
- Better cancer treatment coverage
- Reduced patient load in major cities
- Improved survival rates through early and effective treatment
