Medical Superintendent (MS) Rawalpindi Institute Of Urology (RIU)Dr Tahir Rizvi has said that around four to five patients were being treated on a trial basis daily at the RIU referred by the Benazir Bhutto Hospital (BBH).
The MS who has the acting charge of RIU informed that over 97 per cent of work had been completed at the institute, while Out Door Patient Department, Emergency and other departments would hopefully become operational in a week.
Dr Tahir said that RIU has around 30 dialysis machines, and after the completion of the project, the burden on city hospitals for treating kidney patients would be decreased.
