The meeting discussed the performance and the issues being faced by the hospital. After the meeting, Jatoi told the media that the number of patients coming to the hospital for medical examination and treatment is increasing due to which some difficulties are being faced.

New buildings and wards are also being constructed on the land available in the hospital for the provision of medical treatment facilities to the patients so that more capacity could be created, Jatoi said. He said "We have also proposed to purchase 20 acres of land near Hatri Bypass and construct an extension building for the hospital so that better treatment facilities could be provided to the patients".
