Growing requirements: President approves Army Cardiac Centre
President Asif Ali Zardari on the advice of Prime Minister Pervaiz Ashraf has approved establishment of Army Cardiac Centre (ACC) at Lahore to cater to the growing requirements of cardiac treatment facility to Army personnel, their families and the people of surrounding areas, an official handout said on Saturday.
The summary received in this regard said that the number of patients at CMH Lahore for the facility of cardiac medical treatment exceeded beyond its capacity, which therefore necessitated the establishment of Army Cardiac Centre.
The president also accorded his approval to the appointment of Justice Ghulam Sarwar Korai and Justice Irfan Saadat Khan, Additional Judges of High Court of Sindh, as permanent judges of the Sindh High Court. These appointments shall be deemed to have been made with effet from September 17.
President Zardari on the advice of prime minister approved conferment of the Pride of Performance award upon Ustad Naseeruddin Saami. The Award would be presented to Ustad Naseeruddin in the forthcoming Investiture Ceremony on 23rd March 2013.
Ustad Naseeruddin Saami is one of Pakistan’s most important exponents of Indian classical music. His gamut comprises a variety of forms and styles, including khayal, the ‘elaborative’ style of singing attributed to Amir Khusrow; sadra, a hybrid of Khayal and Hindu devotional chants and the light classical forms of thumri and dadra.

I guess demanding equality and treating servicemen equal to common citizens is against Pakistani traditions and touched raw nerves. There is strong resistance against a modern hospital for everybody including the army and the civilians who employ them and pay for their perks. Looks like the dream of equality is not happening in the land of pure.
One of the main causes of heart problems is over-indulgence..................makes one think.
Sure only people in Army need cardiac treatment. Forget the citizens....let them be deprived of good cardiac health care. Please think about ordinary citizens also ...health care should be for all please
@Mirza: well you are wrong, many civilians are treated in CMH & not to forget the families of lower rank army soldiers are treated free of cost, so its not just for top ranking officers :) & the same army doctors treat people during natural calamity :) please do visit any CMH before you give your opinion
President approves Army Cardiac Centre ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It would have been news if the President had NOT approved:)
No wonder the SC is off the back of the govt and particularly the PM. Where is Islamic equality? Why not make a hospital for general public only where the army officers and their families can go like equal Pakistanis?
