LAHORE: The army has introduced a mobile hospital to cater to health needs of Cantonment residents on their doorstep.

The custom built mobile dispensary has been developed as part of the health outreach convenience programme of the CMH, Lahore.

The roving hospital comprises a four-wheeler with multiple medical facilities, including both male and female army doctors, a laboratory, a pharmacy and an operation theatre for minor cases.

The mobile hospital will visit various colonies in cantonment on a weekly basis to provide on-the-spot medical support.
