Punjab Health Minister Dr. Yasmin Rashid has asked the officials to ensure timely completion of development projects at the Rawalpindi Institute of Urology on Wednesday. The Minister presided over a very important meeting at the Rawalpindi Institute of Urology. The meeting was attended by Deputy Commissioner Rawalpindi, Capt (Retd) Anwarul Haq, Vice-Chancellor Rawalpindi Medical University Professor Umar and officials of the Communication and Works Department. The Minister reviewed the progress of development projects at the Rawalpindi Institute of Urology as well as other ongoing projects in Rawalpindi. Deputy Commissioner Rawalpindi Capt (Retd) Anwarul Haq and Vice-Chancellor Prof. Umar briefed the Health Minister about the development projects and shared the progress. Dr. Yasmin Rashid directed the administration and other officials to complete the projects within the stipulated deadlines. The Minister said the establishment of new state-of-the-art facilities, including five mother and child hospitals reflect the commitment of Punjab Government towards health services. In line with the vision of the Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar special attention is being given to the construction of new hospitals. “It is the sheer incompetence of the previous government that they did not develop new hospitals to meet the rising demand due to the increasing population. It is the foremost priority of the Punjab government to provide relief to the public in the health sector,” the Minister said.
