Under the Mann government, the first successful liver transplant at the government hospital (PILBS), Mohali, becomes a role model for government hospitals across the country

Chandigarh, December 11, 2025: Today marks a new dawn in the health history of Punjab! As a result of the resolve and foresight of the Aam Aadmi Party's Bhagwant Mann government, the Punjab Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (PILBS), Mohali, has successfully performed its first liver transplant surgery, setting a historic milestone. This achievement is not just a step forward in the field of medicine; it is a miraculous blessing that wipes away the tears of thousands of poor and middle-class families who until now considered this life-saving treatment only a dream. This is the greatest proof of the strength and capability of Punjab's government healthcare system. This is not just the "first liver transplant surgery." It is a new lease on life for a father who thought he would never see his children play again. The return of a smile to a son's face who had seen despair in his mother's eyes. The reunion of a family that had feared being torn apart.

While this operation costs millions in the private sector, under the Mann government, PILBS has demonstrated a true spirit of public welfare by making this facility available to the citizens of the state at affordable rates. Behind this success lies years of tireless hard work, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication of the institute's dedicated doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff. They have proven that with the right resources, leadership, and encouragement, government institutions can compete with any of the world's best hospitals.

For patients suffering from liver failure, this news is the difference between life and death. For families in need of a transplant, PILBS is now not just a hospital, but a temple of hope. This success is a matter of pride for every citizen of Punjab who had given up hope due to expensive healthcare services. It clearly demonstrates that the Mann government's focus is not only on development but also on the life and well-being of every citizen. This achievement by PILBS lays a strong foundation for a health revolution in Punjab. This historic step marks the beginning of a revolution in Punjab's healthcare sector. The Bhagwant Mann government has proven its complete commitment to the health and well-being of every citizen of Punjab.

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the AAP government has prioritized healthcare, and we are now witnessing the direct results. The primary objective of establishing this institution was to make Punjab a leading center for the treatment of liver and biliary diseases. The first successful transplant surgery is the first and most significant success of that vision. The government's resolve is clear: to eliminate geographical and economic disparities in healthcare facilities so that no citizen of the state is deprived of quality treatment.

This historic success is an inspiration not only for Punjab but for the entire government healthcare system of India. PILBS, Mohali, has made its mark on the national map and can now serve as a role model for other states in the country. However, this success is just the beginning. Future challenges are complex, including increasing organ donation rates, advanced research, and continuous training of specialist doctors. The government must now maintain its commitment to transforming this achievement into a sustainable and continuous service.

This success of PILBS is a sign of a bright and humane future. It is the story of a government that is accountable and sensitive to its people. This victory is not just a medical triumph, but a triumph of human perseverance and public welfare. This step by the Punjab government proves that "excellent healthcare is now everyone's right, not just a privilege." This historic moment is a profound and emotional declaration of an आने वाले युग (upcoming era) of happiness and better healthcare services in every corner of Punjab. This surgery is a victory for all those people in every corner of Punjab who always believed that the best treatment was only for the rich. Today, under our own government's roof, the doctors of Punjab have proven through their hard work that humanity and excellent treatment are no longer dependent on wealth.

The determination shown by the Mann government in the field of healthcare is commendable. Behind this achievement lies a single message: "Every citizen of Punjab is our family, and every member of our family will be healthy. No one in Punjab will die due to lack of money anymore." This is an emotional security that every citizen of Punjab is now receiving. It shows that the government is not just building roads and bridges, but also rebuilding people's lives and their faith. It signifies that change has begun, and this change will erase the divide between rich and poor, bringing a smile to every face!
