Authorities in Punjab cleared a Rs580.632 million initiative to build the modern Maryam Nawaz Satellite Campus for autism inside Rawalpindi, providing complimentary care and medical treatment for autistic children.

Open bidding on November 4 will determine the contract winner, and officials already published a tender seeking builders for the entire medical facility and related infrastructure.

Autism represents a condition affecting early childhood neurodevelopment, impacting social communication, behavior, sensory processing, and interactions.

Construction plans encompass a ground floor, first floor, rooftop structure, electrical setups, plumbing, gas lines, a guard room, garages, plus a canteen and other amenities.

Workers will also build a boundary wall, entrance gates, parking shelters, paved zones, a 10,000 gallon overhead water reservoir, a 20,000 gallon underground water tank, a borewell with a submersible pump, a fire alarm network, security cameras, internet wiring, and air conditioning units.
