In a statement he said, “Contracting out scheme of the Sindh government has not only spent heavily on improvement of infrastructure, but has also been ensuring provision of quality health services for what would be a significant number of patients.”
He stated that under the partnership, HANDS had been handed over the charge of all 34 public hospitals in Bin Qasim and Gadap towns, providing free-of-cost quality health services. Last month 25,222 patients in Ibrahim Hyderi were treated, while 9,985 patients in Murad Memon Goth, 4,153 patients in Labour Square, 3,632 patients in Rehri, 2,262 patients in Old Thano and 1,903 in Kathore were treated.

"Since we started the implementation of our plan, the volume of patients has increased threefold; around 50 cesarean sections, 1,603 normal deliveries and 350 general surgeries have already been performed free of charge, while hundreds of other patients are being treated at the hospital on a daily basis,” Dr Ahmed added.
Pakistan Peoples Party member Haji Muzaffar Shujra was also in attendance and urged patients to get medicines from the hospital store free-of-cost. “Our people are very poor and they need proper health care,” he said, adding that his party had succeeded in its mission to some extent but still has to do a lot more to provide health services to everyone living in the province.
A medical superintendent of Ibrahim Hyderi, Baloch, said that the OPD, pathology laboratory, and radiology and surgery departments would be further upgraded under a proper plan. Apart from the infrastructural improvement, the management systems, including the IT system, pharmacy and other information systems, have also been improved, he added.
