KARACHI, March 21: The Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital inaugurated its walk-in clinic on Sharea Faisal here on Wednesday. Explaining the objectives of establishing the clinic, the hospital's chief executive officer, Dr Faisal Sultan, said the aim of the clinic was to provide high quality diagnostic and treatment facilities to patients.

Patients of Karachi, the interior of Sindh and Balochistan, who earlier had to visit Lahore, would now be able to avail these facilities in the metropolis, he said and added that the burden on the branch in Lahore would also be minimised.

Dr Sultan said the Shaukat Khanum Hospital was going to open a diagnostic centre in Karachi while construction of a complete hospital would be started soon.—PPI
