He further said that the launch of the pain clinic was of its own kind where it could start treatment of cancer patients also, along with other diseases.
Dr Shehzad appreciated the special guidance and cooperation of Mayo Hospital CEO Dr Saqib Saeed, KEMU VC Khalid Masood Gondal and Mayo Hospital MS Dr Iftikhar.
He stated that the machinery installed in the tower was not available in any other hospital in the province. “Modern medical facilities should be provided to the patients.”
