The Punjab medical district is set to be established in Lahore, following the Nawaz Sharif Cancer Care Hospital project. The provincial government has finalized initial PC-I documentation and 3D designs for this landmark project.

The district will span over 1,500 kanals of land and will include modern facilities such as a 22.87-kanal helipad and a 32.38-kanal gas station. Officials say it will also feature a biodiversity park, introducing green spaces for public recreation.

Plans include commercial zones with 28.89 kanals for Mixed-Use Commercial Zone One and 28.69 kanals for Zone Two. A Civic Avenue will connect the hospitals, while a 250-foot-wide Sunset Avenue will be part of the road network. Pedestrian access is prioritized, with 53.99 kanals reserved for crosswalks, bridges, and canal-side walkways.

The medical district will have direct access to the Lahore Ring Road, ensuring smooth travel for patients, visitors, and emergency services. The Institute of Ophthalmology will be the first facility built, costing an estimated PKR 17.8 billion. Work on the project is expected to start this financial year.
