    Budget 2026-27: Health allocations reach Rs53.3bn, new projects proposed for twin cities

    Islamabad, Pakistan

    ISLAMABAD: The government has allocated Rs53.3 billion for different health projects, including Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP), in the proposed budget for the fiscal year 2026-27. Of the Rs22 billion earmarked for the Ministry of National Health Services, Rs20.7 billion will be financed through local resources, while Rs1.3 billion will be received from foreign assistance. As per PSDP, the government has proposed an overall allocation of Rs24.3 billion for the health and nutrition sector. The allocation marks a notable increase compared to the previous fiscal year, when the health sector was initially allocated Rs16.5 billion and later revised downwards to Rs14 billion. The health sector’s share in the overall social sector development budget stands at 2.2 per cent of the total Rs187.2 billion social sector allocation for the FY 2026-27. Of Rs22bn earmarked for health ministry, Rs1.3bn will be received from foreign assistance, according to budget documents Major health projects Among the key projects included in the budget is funding for cardiovascular research and disease prevention. The government has proposed Rs1.5 billion for a project at the National Institute of Heart Diseases (NIHD) Rawalpindi to support research and preventive measures. In addition, Rs1 billion has been earmarked for the expansion and upgradation of the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) and NIHD, aimed at enhancing specialised cardiac care facilities. The budget also includes funding for the initial phase of a major healthcare infrastructure initiative. The National University of Medical Sciences (Nums) has been allocated funds for acquiring land from the Capital Development Authority (CDA) for the establishment of a proposed medical city in Islamabad. Meanwhile, Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has expressed concerns over the deteriorating state of national health security, declaring that a combination of misplaced budgetary priorities and rampant economic inflation had plunged the country into a full-blown public health emergency. “PMA notes with grave concern that while the federal government’s newly announced Rs53.3 billion allocation for the Ministry of National Health Services for the 2026–27 fiscal year continues to favour visible infrastructure projects, it critically underfunds the essential mechanisms needed to fight a silent, nationwide maternal and child nutrition crisis. “The reality on the ground remains catastrophic for the average citizen, validating the medical fraternity’s long-standing warning that Pakistan’s healthcare infrastructure is entering a state of systemic collapse due to structural neglect,” PMA Secretary General Dr Abdul Ghafoor Shoro said. “The federal budget reveals a profound neglect of core national responsibilities such as One Health Workforce Development program receives a negligible Rs99.9 million leaving the country highly vulnerable to active threats like Mpox, measles, dengue and polio. The Common Management Unit for TB, HIV/AIDS and malaria receives only Rs500 million despite Pakistan carrying one of the world’s heaviest tuberculosis burdens and an expanding hepatitis C epidemic affecting an estimated 10 million people. The Drug Control Section is severely constrained with an allocation of just Rs144 million,” he said. “Furthermore, ongoing federal health schemes carry throw-forward liabilities exceeding Rs121 billion, legally tying the hands of future policymakers and locking public capital into brick-and-mortar projects for years to come. We are witnessing a double-pronged tragedy. On one hand, inflation is stripping families of the ability to afford basic milk, meat and vegetables and on the other the federal government is spending 70 percent of its healthcare resources on brick-and-mortar operations and specialised tertiary care, virtually abandoning prevention, disease surveillance and nutrition defence,” he added.

    Climate ministry secures Rs2.48bn Public Sector Development Programme allocation for green projects

    Islamabad, Pakistan

    ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination (MoCC&EC) has secured an allocation of Rs2.478 billion under the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) for the fiscal year 2026-27 beginning July 1. The allocation will support four ongoing projects aimed at ecological restoration, green skills development, urban climate resilience and strengthening institutional capacity for climate action, according to a statement issued by the ministry. The lion’s share of the allocation, Rs2.335bn, has been earmarked for the flagship Up-scaling of Green Pakistan Programme, which focuses on large-scale afforestation, biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration and the restoration of natural ecosystems. The allocation also underscores the government’s emphasis on strengthening Pakistan’s climate resilience and integrating environmental sustainability into the country’s development agenda. Officials said the PSDP allocations reflected the prime minister’s resolve to equip the country to cope with escalating climate threats, including glacial melting, glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), water scarcity, deforestation, heatwaves, forest fires and land degradation, which have become increasingly frequent and severe in recent years. MoCC&EC spokesperson and climate policy advocacy specialist Mohammad Saleem Shaikh said the prime minister had consistently advocated climate action as a national priority and ensured that environmental concerns were embedded in development planning. “Under the prime minister, climate resilience has become a central pillar of Pakistan’s development strategy. These investments are aimed at protecting people, restoring ecosystems and ensuring that the country is better prepared to confront emerging threats posed by glacial retreat, GLOFs, water stress, heat extremes, forest fires and environmental degradation,” he said. He said the budget reflected the government’s growing commitment to climate resilience and nature-based solutions at a time when Pakistan remained among the countries most vulnerable to climate-induced disasters. “The PSDP allocation for FY2026-27 demonstrates that climate action is no longer a peripheral issue but a national development priority. These investments are designed to strengthen ecosystems, create green economic opportunities and protect communities against the growing impacts of climate change,” Mr Shaikh told Dawn. He said the Green Pakistan Programme would continue to serve as the country’s flagship ecological restoration initiative, helping enhance forest cover, conserve biodiversity and unlock opportunities for carbon financing. “Restoring natural capital is an investment in Pakistan’s future. Healthy forests and ecosystems not only absorb carbon emissions but also support livelihoods, water security and disaster resilience,” he said. According to ministry documents, three new components are being incorporated into the Green Pakistan Programme, including the establishment of a Wildlife Rescue Centre and Urban Forestry Unit in Margalla Hills National Park, the creation of a National Botanical Garden at Bani Gala, and the development of a Pollution Load Assessment Network to monitor air and water pollution in Islamabad. An allocation of Rs51.6 million has also been made for the “Green Skills for Sustainable Development” initiative aimed at equipping young people with the skills needed for a low-carbon economy and promoting green entrepreneurship. Saleem Shaikh said investment in youth and innovation would help transform climate challenges into economic opportunities. “Green jobs and green entrepreneurship represent the future. By empowering young people with climate-relevant skills, Pakistan can simultaneously tackle unemployment and build a resilient, sustainable economy,” he said. The ministry has also been allocated Rs50 million for preparing a National Urban Strategy and guidelines to minimise the impacts of urban flooding, droughts and climate-related disasters. The initiative is being implemented with support from the UNFCCC Adaptation Fund and UN-Habitat. Describing urban resilience as an urgent priority, the spokesperson said Pakistan’s rapidly expanding cities required climate-smart planning to withstand increasingly frequent extreme weather events. “Recent years have shown that climate risks are intensifying. Through improved urban planning and disaster-sensitive spatial development, we aim to make cities safer, more resilient and better prepared for future shocks,” he said. An additional Rs40.66 million has been allocated for strengthening the ministry’s technical capacity in areas including climate finance, marine biodiversity, water, sanitation and hazardous waste management. The official said enhancing institutional capacity would enable Pakistan to better access international climate finance and effectively fulfil its environmental commitments. “Climate governance today demands robust institutions, sound science and evidence-based policymaking. Strengthening these capacities is essential for delivering meaningful climate action and safeguarding the country’s development gains,” he added. Officials said two projects, including water quality monitoring and the Pakistan Biosafety Clearing House, would conclude on June 30 after achieving major milestones in strengthening environmental governance and public health systems. The ministry’s PSDP portfolio for FY2026-27 is expected to contribute to Pakistan’s climate adaptation goals while supporting sustainable development and enhancing resilience against floods, droughts and other climate-related threats.

    PUNJAB BUDGET 2026-27: Punjab eyes Rs910bn surplus in Rs5.9tr budget

    • Minister says no additional tax burden placed on public • Insists budget focuses on welfare, growth, self-reliance • Govt employees get 7pc salary raise; pensions increased by 3.5pc • Province targets Rs1.21tr revenue from own sources • Revenue authority given Rs528.9bn collection target • Rs546bn grant to Centre included for the first time • Education gets Rs750bn; health sector allocated Rs500.82bn • Agriculture, livestock, aquaculture get Rs132.5bn LAHORE: The Punjab government on Tuesday unveiled a Rs5.903 trillion budget for the next financial year, slashing the province’s Annual Development Programme by about 40 per cent to Rs752 billion from the outgoing year’s estimate of Rs1.24tr, while promising an estimated cash surplus of Rs910bn. The government’s total estimated expenditure also went up 9.6pc, or Rs568bn, from the outgoing year’s Rs5.335tr. The budget documents lack full transparency as they gloss over many things, including a Rs588bn drop in the ADP, while the government promised increased development spending, major investments in education, health, agriculture and infrastructure and maintained that no additional tax burden would be placed on the public. Presenting the budget in the Punjab Assembly, Finance Minister Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman said the government had adopted fiscal discipline and administrative reforms to create room for public welfare and development initiatives despite economic challenges. The government said its fiscal strategy was anchored in the principles of “prudent financial management, expen­d­iture rationalisation and revenue mobilisation”. Budget documents show that general revenue receipts are projected to increase from Rs4.74tr in the outgoing fiscal year to Rs5.60tr in the next, supported by growth in federal divisible pool transfers and enhanced provincial own-source revenues. Revenue reforms, including broadening of the tax base, modernisation of tax administration, digitisation of collection systems and improvements in compliance mechanisms, are expected to contribute significantly towards fiscal sustainability. The proposed budget is 10.7pc higher than the current fiscal year’s budget. Current expenditures have been estimated at Rs1.963tr, reflecting a 3.1pc decrease attributed to austerity measures. The government has proposed a 7pc increase in salaries for government employees and a 3.5pc increase in pensions. A major feature of the budget is the allocation of Rs752bn for development spending, down 39.3pc from Rs1.24tr in the outgoing year. The government expects Punjab to receive Rs4.201tr under the NFC Award, against Rs4.622tr last year, while provincial own-source revenue is targeted at Rs1.21tr. The Punjab Revenue Authority has been given a collection target of Rs528.86bn, or 55.4pc more than the outgoing year. Likewise, the Excise and Taxation Department has been given a target of Rs124bn, 77pc more than the outgoing financial year. Provincial non-tax revenue collection is estimated at Rs461.17bn, 52pc more than last year. The minister clarified that this increase in revenue generation would come through broadening the tax base instead of increasing the tax burden on existing taxpayers, as revenue from own resources is likely to rise by over 42pc, from Rs524.7bn in the outgoing year to Rs748.7bn in the new fiscal year. The province will also receive Rs49.84bn under foreign-funded programme loans and Rs140.6bn under foreign project loans. The budget also includes a Rs910bn estimated provincial surplus to comply by the financial framework signed between the federal government and the IMF, while a Rs546bn grant to the federal government, for the first time in the province’s history, is also part of the budget. The government announced that education would remain a top priority, with Rs750bn earmarked for the sector. Key initiatives include the continuation of the Chief Minister’s Laptop Programme, under which 110,000 laptops are being provided, and the Honhaar Scholarship Programme, which has benefited more than 108,000 students. A sum of Rs40bn has been earmarked for the Maryam Centre of Academic Leadership, STEAM laboratories and Nawaz Sharif Centres of Excellence. New autism schools are also planned in every division of the province, while 244 IT labs will be established in colleges at a cost of Rs6.9bn. For the health sector, Rs500.82bn has been proposed. Major projects include the Nawaz Sharif Institute of Cancer Treatment and Research, new cardiac facilities, upgraded teaching hospitals, expanded dialysis and transplant programmes, and the establishment of a Nawaz Sharif Medical District worth Rs169bn. The budget also places strong emphasis on economic transformation through the Punjab Innovation for Value, Opportunity and Transformation (PIVOT) initiative. The three-year plan envisages total investment of nearly Rs1.995tr, including Rs1.09tr in public investment and more than Rs905bn from the private sector. A sum of Rs193bn will be used for subsidised financial assistance to 463 industrial projects that are likely to generate 29,400 direct jobs and $5.6bn in additional export earnings. The government expects the overall programme to generate additional exports worth $16.5bn and create significant job opportunities. To support businesses, the government highlighted interest-free financing schemes under the Asaan Karobar Programme, through which more than 110,000 entrepreneurs have received loans. Agriculture, livestock and aquaculture have been allocated Rs132.54bn. The government plans to expand the Kissan Card Programme, continue subsidised tractor schemes, establish agro-processing parks worth Rs60bn and increase support for climate-resilient agriculture. Local government, water supply and sanitation projects also received significant attention. The government announced funding for the Saaf Pani Programme, the Punjab Development Pro­g­ramme, the Suthra Pun­jab initiative and low-income housing schemes under Apni Chhat Apna Ghar.
