Chief Minister Punjab Mohsin Naqvi while addressing the Vice Chancellors, Principals and MS conference in a local hotel Saturday said that Vice Chancellors, Principals and Ms are an important part of the Punjab government. The plight of primary health hospitals is much better and we will have to work a great deal for the improvement of specialised healthcare hospitals. No work has been done on the improvement of specialised healthcare hospitals for the last many years.If a human being does not repair his house then condition of the house gets dilapidated and same is the example of hospitals.
CM Mohsin Naqvi stated that he has come to know during nine months period that if the people are provided relief then they remain satisfied. The people can be kept satisfied by controlling education, health and prices. If education,health and prices are kept under control then the people appreciate the government. Doctors, Professors,Principals and Vice Chancellors directly affect on the masses through their services. I came to know after visiting the hospitals that doctors are not responsible for the pathetic conditions of the hospitals. If the government does not provide new beds in the hospitals then the doctors will be forced to provide treatment on the worn out beds.If the government fails to provide ventilators and machinery in an adequate quantity then the doctors will not be able to satisfactorily treat their patients. If the hospitals are not upgraded for 20 consecutive years then they will have the same dilapidated conditions presently. It is highly essential to maintain better quality of hospitals. It is our endeavour to make such a mock room across all the hospitals of Punjab as is made in Mayo hospital.CM informed that upgradation of 32 hospitals of specialised healthcare is being carried out. We have to leave after completing our tenure Doctors, Professors and Principals will keep on serving the people by staying on their respective posts. You should inform us about which equipment and machinery along with facilities are needed in the hospitals.20 thousands new beds will be provided and basic problems of the hospitals will be resolved. Vice Chancellors, Principals and MS will have to get completed the upgradation work of the hospitals as they get completed construction of their houses seriously.CM said that deadline of the upgradation of hospitals is January 31st. Rupees 26 billions are required for the upgradation of hospitals. We will provide even if rupees 50 billions are required. If the amount on the upgradation of hospitals is spent in a fair and transparent manner and only then the people will be benefited. We will act upon the recommendations of Vice Chancellors, Principals and Ms for the upgradation of hospitals.
