RAWALPINDI: Preparations for the Prime Minister of Pakistan’s address to the ground-breaking ceremony of Rawalpindi’s Mother and Child Hospital have been completed, reported ARY News.
The hospital is being made with a budget of Rs. 6 billion. It will have up to 17 operation theatres and will also hold a training centre for nurses.
The initial plan of the hospital was initiated by the Minister for Railways, Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed which had faced delays for the past 12 years.
The initiative was completely shut down during the tenure of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and no further progress was made.
Former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar had also taken notice of the matter and had paid visit to the hospital to inspect the pace of work.
He had expressed his severe reservations on the delay in the construction of hospital.
