A newly constructed state-of-the-art field hospital for treatment of Covid-19 patients began functioning here on Thursday. The 140-bed hospital was early inaugurated by the Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar on April 14.
During a visit to field hospital set up at sports complex, Vice-Chancellor Dr Muhammad Umer said that every bed has been linked with CCTV cameras.
He said that safety of doctors and para-medical staff have been ensured as doctors can advise patients without visiting at their beds. Dr Umer said that as the health officials are playing a significant role during this critical time to save the lives of people, they were advised to stay at home and not move unnecessarily during lockdown.
