The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has prioritised rehabilitation of 25 district headquarters hospitals (DHQs) in the next two years aiming to provide modern healthcare facilities to its people, said Project Management and Implementation Unit (PMIU) Project Director Dr Niaz Muhammad.
He spoke at a meeting with medical superintendents of DHQs on Tuesday.
The participants of the meeting were briefed in detail and it was said that all the revamping work would be carried out in four phases. The DHQs in Abbottabad and Haripur would be revamped in the first phase.
