Newly constructed Outdoor Patient Department (OPD) and accident, emergency and diagnostics blocks were inaugurated at the Combined Military Hospital in Rawalpindi on Wednesday.
The outgoing Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani inaugurated the blocks. The construction of new blocks at Military Hospital (MH) and Combined Military Hospital (CMH) will be completed by 2014, according to a press release.
Both these hospitals would cater for medical needs of military as well as civilian personnel.
The total number of beds at CMH and MH would reach 2,500 once construction is complete. With enhanced capacity and state-of-the-art equipment as many as 6,000 patients would be treated daily at the OPD, it stated further.
However, according to a citizen of Harley Street Rawalpindi, the construction of the new blocks has led to the dumping of construction waste on the Harley Street side opposite the Christian cemetery which has caused inconvenience to commuters and residents.
