GB hospital

Published May 5, 2016

A 70-BED hospital was constructed to facilitate the people of Danyore, Gilgit-Baltistan, and other villages. It was fully furnished and ready in 2014.

Unfortunately, it is still waiting to be opened to the public. People still travel miles for medical treatment despite having this hospital in their vicinity.

The authorities concerned are requested to open the hospital as soon as possible to facilitate the people of the area.
