Caretaker Federal Minister for Health Dr Nadeem Jan on Thursday inspected the Federal Government Polyclinic (FGPH) hospitals expansion project.
The minister was briefed by the concerned authorities about the project. Dr. Nadeem Jan reviewed the construction work of Polyclinic G-11/3 expansion project-II. The expansion project consists of 300 beds. This project will be completed in three years.
However, the minister directed to complete the project in two years. He said that slowness and delay in construction work will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
He said that such public welfare projects should be completed on time. The construction of the hospital will not only benefit the citizens of Islamabad and surrounding areas rather, the people of Azad Jammu Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan will also be able to benefit.
He said that the hospital will provide facilities for diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure, maternity care, allergies, bone and joint problems, chest and heart diseases, and skin issues. The minister said that we are making progress in the short-term mission of reforms.
Progress in the health sector is not possible without reforms, he added. He pointed out that along with the growth of the population, diseases are also increasing, and resources are limited to tackle them. In this context, a revolutionary project has been initiated to reduce the burden on large hospitals, he added. The minister said 460 primary health centers will be revamped across the country.
