LAHORE:

Provincial Caretaker Health Minister Dr Javed Akram has announced that treatment for children suffering from congenital brain diseases will soon be available at PINS.

He made the statement at the inaugural ceremony for the Paediatric Neurosurgery Department at Punjab Institute of Neurosciences (PINS) on Thursday.

Dr Akram expressed his happiness about the establishment of the department, saying that doctors should serve their patients regardless of their caste, religion, colour, or race. He noted that in the past, senior politician Javed Hashmi had been provided with the best treatment facilities in the case of a stroke.

Dr Akram added that brain surgery for children in Punjab was once a dream, but it has now become a reality.

Patients from Iran and Afghanistan also come to PINS for brain surgery. Speaking about brain injuries, he said that it is highly irresponsible for parents to give motorcycles to young children and send them on the road. This behaviour can cause life-long disabilities for innocent children.

After the ceremony, Dr Akram visited various wards at PINS and asked patients about the quality of medical care they were receiving.

PINS Executive Director Dr Khalid Mahmood said the hospital provides international level medical facilities to all patients and serves them through 500 beds.
