Plan initiated to set up hospitals in Punjab industrial towns in Pakistan

Provincial government has initiated a well-knitted plan for setting up most modern Social Security hospitals in major industrial towns of the Punjab. Official sources told Business Recorder here on Saturday that these hospitals are being constructed at Sialkot, Gujrat, Muzaffargarh and Manga and each hospital would consist of 100 beds. The construction work on social security hospital Sialkot has been accelerated as government has already removed all bottlenecks, which were hindering the completion of the project. It is expected that Outdoor Patient Department (OPD) of Sialkot Social Security hospital would be operational by the end of current month, sources said.

The treatment facilities like cardiology, gynaecology and haemo dialysis treatment facilities would be available for the industrial workers in this ultra modern 100-bed hospital. The hospital would be completed at a cost of Rs 12 crore while Rs 15 crore would be utilised on equipping the hospital with the latest machinery.

The construction of social security hospital Gujrat is near completion and it would be accomplished at the cost of Rs 10 crore while Social Security department will provide Rs 5 crore for equipping the hospital with the latest medical instruments.

The Physiotherapy Units have been established in all social security hospitals for mitigating the problems of the industrial workers as well as to provide treatment facilities at their doorstep.

Apart from this, Rs 23 crore had been allocated during current fiscal period for the purchase of quality medicines for the social security hospitals functioning in the Punjab. The government was making strenuous efforts for maximum treatment facilities to the industrial workers and their dependants in social security hospitals of the province, sources said.

LAHORE: The Mother Doctor Training Programme has trained 811 mothers to help their disabled children exercise at home, Dr Khalid Jamil, Mayo Hospital’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Centre supervisor, told Public Health Engineering Minister Mian Shafqat Ali at a workshop titled Rehabilitation of the Disabled on Monday.


He said the increasing number of disabled children in Punjab was mostly due to the tradition of marriages within the family. He suggested that the government start a special programme to educate people regarding the disadvantages of cousin marriages. He said the tradition should be discouraged, especially in families with disabilities.


Minister Ali stressed the need for close cooperation and liaison between the government and social organizations to educate the people in this regard. He asked the doctors to take effective steps to help disabled children become useful citizens of society. Ali said parents should treat their disabled children affectionately, adding that the government would set up rehabilitation centers for the disabled since it was the government’s prime responsibility.
