DISTRICT NAZIM: The introduction of new local government system has helped bridging the gap between the public and government departments for the service of common man.
This was stated by district Nazim Chaudhry Zahid Nazir during a visit to the DHQ Hospital.
The Nazim directed MS Dr Hamid to prepare a comprehensive plan for extension of required medical facilities in the hospital.
The MS informed him that the cardiac centre in the hospital was established by different industrialists and other people and it was the best centre any where in the district.
