KARACHI: Services hospital to have modern facilities: Sardar
KARACHI, Jan 13: Sindh Health Minister Syed Sardar Ahmed categorically stated on Saturday that the Services Hospital was not being dismantled and rather some of the facilities within the hospital premises would be shifted to other places and a trauma centre built there.
Talking to journalists at his office, Sardar Ahmed said that the Services Hospital would be equipped with modern facilities under the public-private partnership programme.
He said the residential quarters on the hospital premises, which were in a dilapidated condition, would be shifted to an alternative place while the office of the police surgeon, the drug laboratory and the Sindh transfusion service would be shifted to other places.
He said a model project would be launched in 10 districts of Sindh on an experimental basis for providing better medical facilities by merging primary and basic health centres on the pattern of Rahimyar Khan project.
Under that project, he said, the doctors of one centre could perform duty at another centre for which their salaries would be increased.—APP
