Caretaker Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced on Tuesday that Nishtar-II would be made functional by September this year with 100 per cent staff and termed it a dire need of the hour for masses of Multan and its adjoining areas.
Talking to the media after inspecting different sections of the project, he stated that Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif would be invited to open the health facility as he had performed its groundbreaking ceremony as the CM of Punjab.
He said no staff would be deputed at Nishtar-II from Nishtar Hospital, adding that Punjab government would allocate funds in the budget for ongoing health projects of Multan.
The CM said that the extension of Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology would also be made functional by next month and added that a new emergency Children’s Complex would be constructed with the help of philanthropists soon.
