LAHORE:
Primary and Secondary Healthcare Department Secretary Captain (retd) Muhammad Usman has directed the development wing to start work on the formulation of policy regarding the donation of medical machinery to the department.
He said the policy would formulate a delicate balance between foreign and local medical machinery donors. “In absence of a donation policy, donors usually manipulate and donate machinery to their favourite areas,” said the secretary.
A rationalisation policy across Punjab would be devised in DHQs and THQs. “After the policy formulation, the issue of lack of machinery, which in fact was creating hurdles in providing the healthcare facilities, would be eliminated,” said Usman.
