KOHAT, Sept 9: The Al Shifa Eye Trust will set up a modern hospital in the city at an estimated cost of Rs150 million to help eye patients of far-flung areas.
Briefing reporters at the site of the hospital, district coordination officer Jalat Khan said the NWFP government had allotted a piece of land, measuring 80 kanals, in the KDA township for the hospital free of cost. The hospital would be completed in three years, he added.
A separate power station had also been sanctioned for the hospital, the DCO, who is also coordinator of the project, said.
He said President Pervez Musharraf would perform the ground breaking of the project on Sept 15.
