Technology and Diabetes Congress in Dubai on October 16, 2026. The Khawaja Imran Nazir
diabetes congress visit focused on modern diabetes treatments, early diagnosis and new
medical technologies. He explored healthcare developments that could help improve treatment

could support better healthcare services and improve access to modern medical facilities.

worldwide. He described diabetes as a silent killer and explained that early diagnosis could help
prevent serious complications. He encouraged people to follow balanced diets, exercise
regularly and attend medical checkups to manage their health.

The minister highlighted the Punjab government’s efforts to make diabetes treatment easier for
patients. He said the government was working to bring healthcare services closer to people’s
homes. He also highlighted the initiative to deliver insulin directly to the homes of eligible
