Upgrades: ‘200 beds to be added to medical centre’

SARGODHA:

University of Sargodha Vice Chancellor Muhammad Akram Chaudhary on Wednesday said a 200-bed facility would be added to the Medical and Diagnostic Centre at the university. He was addressing the inauguration ceremony of equipment donated to the centre. Chaudhary said the government wanted the university to play a greater role in the health sector. He said hundreds of patients were treated at the centre everyday.  He said the additional facility would allow better research. He said it would also enable patients from adjoining areas of Sargodha to get state-of-the-art treatment and diagnostic facilities. He said 14 doctors were serving at the centre.

He said new staff would be added on once the centre was upgraded. He said echo cardiography and ETT machines had been imported from Germany.
