Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday inaugurated Lungs Care Center and Lungs Transplant Unit and also laid the foundation stone of Health City and Pharmaceutical Unit at Abdul Qadir Shah Jeelani Institute of Medical Sciences at Gambat in Khairpur district.
The country's first health city will have facilities ranging from state-of-the-art medical tourism to accommodation for attendants accompanying patients.
Bilawal also laid foundation stone of a pharmaceutical industry project. Later, he also visited different parts of the Lung Transplant Centre.
PPP Chairman said that the Sindh government has built a world-class medical infrastructure, which is far ahead of other provinces. He said that Gambat Institute is not a provincial but truly a national institution, where patients from Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, besides other provinces, also come for free of cost treatment.
PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto said that people would not have to go to India for expensive treatment of kidney and liver because the treatment is now available in Gambat.
Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah, federal and provincial ministers, lawmakers, party leaders and officers were also present on the occasion.
