The chief minister will soon visit Multan to inaugurate several health projects, DCO Nadir Chatha said at a meeting in the Circuit House on Tuesday. The meeting was called to discuss progress on various health projects.
“Provision of health services to the masses is our foremost responsibility,” Chatha said. Renovation and development of the Kidney Centre, the Children’s Complex and the Shahbaz Sharif Hospital was almost complete, the DCO said.
He said 90 per cent of development work on the Children’s Complex was complete. “Rs1,872 million has been spent on upgrading the complex so far and 300 beds have been added to it.”
Chatha said a liver transplant department equipped with modern facilities would be established at the Shahbaz Sharif Hospital. In a few days, a power plant would be installed at the hospital and new furniture would be provided, he added.
Discussing work completed at the Nishtar Hospital’s Burn Unit, the DCO said more than Rs800 million had been spent on improving the unit last year. He said additional funds would be allocated in the upcoming budget to upgrade basic health units to provide better health facilities to the masses.
Officials of various departments gave the DCO detailed briefing on the on-going projects.
