The Punjab State Cancer and Drug Addiction Treatment Infrastructure Fund Act, 2013 establishes a dedicated fund and a high-level administrative board to finance healthcare infrastructure, awareness campaigns, and prevention initiatives targeting cancer and drug addiction in Punjab. The Act applies to state departments, local bodies, semi-government agencies, and major infrastructure developers, requiring them to contribute specified percentages from land auctions, revenue, infrastructure project budgets, and tax surcharges into the fund. This legislation matters because it secures a permanent, structured revenue stream to expand medical facilities, improve treatment accessibility, and combat twin public health crises affecting individuals and families across the state.
