According to Polyclinic spokesperson Dr Abdul Jabbar Bhutto, the two important bed elevators had been imported to Karachi from Spain and they will soon be transported to the federal capital to install them in the hospital. He said that the bed elevators will be installed in the hospital within a week. The spokesperson said that one elevator will be installed in the CCU (cardiac care unit) and the other in the labour room.
