Punjab Healthcare Commission - PHC Striving to improve healthcare and service delivery in Punjab

Government of the Punjab has set up the Punjab Healthcare Commission (PHC) to introduce a regime of clinical governance in the province. The provincial Assembly enacted the Punjab Healthcare Commission Act in July 2010 to ensure delivery of quality health services in private as well as public sectors. PHC is expected to yield high impact results in the health sector including establishment of a system of robust, rules-based regulation of public & private healthcare sectors, standardization of services, accountability of service failures and matters of alleged medical negligence, leading to a system of accreditation in the health sector.

PHC holds stakeholders’ consultation on regulating stem cell services

The Punjab Healthcare Commission (PHC) convened a high-level consultative meeting with key stakeholders to deliberate on a regulatory framework for stem cell centres and services.
Over the past decade, there has been a notable rise in stem cell-based practices within the broader field of regenerative medicine. This emerging trend has underscored the need for a clear regulatory framework to ensure that such healthcare establishments (HCEs) operate in line with professional ethics, and that all interventions are evidence-based, safe for patients and free from the exploitation of vulnerable populations. An effective regulatory regime, supported by well-defined operational standards, is also essential to promoting structured clinical trials, which rigorously evaluate stem cell-based therapies for safety and efficacy.
The PHC’s consultation brought together experts in ophthalmology, dermatology, pain management, gynaecology and laboratory sciences with hands-on insight into stem cell practices in regenerative medicine. Representatives from the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council, College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, Pakistan Health Research Council (PHRC), Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP), Punjab Human Organ Transplantation Authority (PHOTA) and the Specialised Healthcare & Medical Education Department also participated. The meeting was attended by Commissioners on the PHC Board Prof Mahmood Shaukat, Prof Muhammad Saeed and Dr Noman Tareef.
Chief Executive Officer PHC Dr Muhammad Saqib Aziz chaired the session. In his opening remarks, he highlighted the critical importance of regulating stem cell services to ensure ethical practice and patient safety. He emphasised that while regenerative medicine offers promising opportunities, it must progress within a robust framework that safeguards patients and maintains public trust.
Director Clinical Governance and Organisational Standards PHC Dr Mushtaq Ahmed presented the Commission’s preliminary work in this area, including draft guidelines developed after an extensive literature review and prior stakeholder engagement. Then the chair invited participants to provide detailed feedback to build consensus on key elements of a proposed regulatory framework for stem cell therapy centres. The discussion focused on ensuring that advancements in regenerative medicine remain grounded in scientific evidence, ethical practice and patient safety.
Participants appreciated PHC’s proactive role in shaping the future of regenerative medicine services in line with regulatory and quality standards. There was broad agreement that clinicians and healthcare providers have an ethical responsibility to communicate clearly that treatment outcomes cannot be guaranteed, and that patient safety must always remain the foremost priority. The experts further stressed that effective patient counselling and strict adherence to regulatory oversight are essential to prevent misinformation, protect vulnerable patients, and ensure responsible clinical practice. The Commission will incorporate the feedback from this consultation into the refinement of draft guidelines and the development of a comprehensive regulatory framework for stem cell services in Punjab.

PHC’s anti-quackery drive intensifies – 2,130 treatment centres raided
500 quack outlets sealed, 232 centres undergo business changes

The Punjab Healthcare Commission (PHC) has significantly escalated its anti-quackery operations, conducting raids on 2,130 treatment centres across Punjab over a four-week period, resulting in the sealing of 500 illegal outlets.
During the latest crackdown, enforcement teams visited various treatment facilities, including clinics, laboratories and aesthetic centres. The operations led to 500 quackery outlets being sealed for violations. At the same time, 232 centres were found to have undergone business changes, with operators either shifting locations, shutting down operations or converting to other businesses in response to PHC’s intensified enforcement. Additionally, 1,285 healthcare establishments (HCEs) have been placed under surveillance to prevent any resurgence of quackery, as qualified persons were operating these centres at the time of the raids.
“This ongoing initiative underscores the PHC’s commitment to safeguarding public health and ensuring only qualified and licensed professionals deliver healthcare services in Punjab,” said Chief Executive Officer PHC Dr Muhammad Saqib Aziz.
Lahore district witnessed the highest number of closures, with 133 illegal treatment centres being shut down during this period. The crackdown extended to other districts, resulting in the closure of 25 centres in Sheikhupura, 23 in Faisalabad, 21 each in Sialkot and Narowal, 20 in Rawalpindi, 18 in Multan, 17 in Kasur, and 14 each in Okara and Jhang. Similarly, anti-quackery operations were conducted across the province.
During this anti-quackery drive, the PHC sealed approximately 277 clinics run by unqualified general practitioners, around 60 illegal medical stores and pharmacies, over 50 dental clinics, more than 40 hakeems/Tibb practices, a dozen homoeopathic clinics, over 30 unregistered laboratories and collection centres, about 14 maternity homes, and 13 traditional bone-setter outlets, all operating without recognised qualifications.
A spokesperson for the Commission highlighted that, to date, the PHC has conducted raids on around 242,000 treatment centres, resulting in the closure of more than 67,600 quackery outlets, while 30,663 quacks have abandoned their unlawful practices.
