Punjab Health Foundation expresses serious concern over the circulation of rumors and misleading news being spread on media by certain individuals regarding the disbursement of monthly stipends to trainees from various fields of medicine. These rumors are causing unnecessary confusion among trainees.

The Foundation strongly refutes all such rumors and clarifies that, following meetings between authorized officials and representatives of the trainees, it has been decided—based on the feedback from these representatives—that all relevant teaching/training institutions will submit the attendance records of their trainees from the 15th of each month to the 14th of the following month (one month’s attendance) on the Punjab Health Foundation stipend portal by the 20th of the current month. This process ensures that stipends can be transferred to the trainees’ bank accounts by the 1st of each month.

To date, the Foundation has disbursed stipends totaling over Rs. 18 billion to 280,000 trainee doctors, nurses, and lady health visitors.
