LAHORE (Dunya News) - Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has undergone a ‘major surgery’ at Sharif Medical City Hospital in Lahore and has since been discharged to her residence, Punjab Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Thursday.
In a statement shared on social media platform X, Aurangzeb confirmed that the chief minister had the procedure at Sharif Medical City Hospital and was later shifted home following the operation.
وزیراعلی مریم نواز شریف صاحبہ کی شریف میڈیکل سٹی ہسپتال میں میجر سرجری ہوئی ہے جس کے بعد وہ گھر منتقل ہو گئی ہیں، الحمدللہ۔ عید کے دن وزیر اعلی مریم نواز شریف نے ہسپتال سے صوبے میں سکیورٹی، صفائی سمیت دیگر تمام امور کی براہ راست خود نگرانی کی۔

She added that despite her hospitalisation, Maryam Nawaz continued to oversee provincial administrative matters, including security arrangements and sanitation, even during the first day of Eid.
Federal Information Technology Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja offered prayers for the chief minister’s swift recovery and good health in response to the announcement.

This is not the first time the chief minister has faced health-related attention. In November 2024, she was admitted to the same hospital for medical tests, including a thyroid evaluation, according to earlier official statements.
Last month, Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari dismissed circulating claims about Maryam Nawaz suffering from cancer, calling the reports ‘completely false’ and condemning what she described as misinformation regarding her health.
