Islamabad:
Punjab Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif approved the construction of Kulsoom Nawaz hospital in the heart of the canton of Rawalpindi, aimed at providing standard health and medical care to the citizens of Rawalpindi Cantt.
According to enlightened sources, a PC-1 (Project Concept-1) was prepared for the construction of a 3,000-bed hospital on the site of the old GTS bus in Chohar Chowk.
The construction of the project will start later this year, with the financing of the project to be approved as part of the Public Service Development Project (PSDP).
The hospital will also include service for heart patients. The creation of the Kulsoom Nawaz hospital will not only benefit the local population of Rawalpindi but also to the inhabitants of Taxila, Attock, Haripur, Fateh Jang, Tarnol, Hassan Abdal and Golra.
The local MNA Malik Ibra and Mpa Malik Iftikhar say that their government is committed to transforming Rawalpindi into a developed city.
The construction of this hospital was a longtime dream as in the past, the region has been neglected due to politics, but now power lies in the hands of the chosen representatives of the people, they add.
According to PML-N legislators, the construction of the Kulsoom Nawaz hospital will mark the start of a new era of development in the constituency. Special funds will be allocated to this project, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will throw his foundation stone.
