Govt approves Rs4bn project to upgrade Polyclinic Hospital

July 09, 2024 (MLN): In a significant move towards enhancing healthcare services, the Ministry of Health has approved a PC-1 project worth Rs4 billion for the upgradation of Polyclinic Hospital, said a press release issued today.

The project will bring state-of-the-art medical equipment and technology to FGPC, ensuring better diagnosis and treatment options.

Additionally, the main building of Polyclinic Hospital, along with the MCH Aabpara, G-7/3, G-7/4 dispensary, and hostel, will be transitioned to solar power.

As part of the initiative, a state-of-the-art cath lab will be installed in Polyclinic Hospital.

This facility will offer a range of specialized procedures including ablation, angiogram, and angioplasty, significantly improving the quality of care for heart patients.

The new cath lab will also provide stenting services, ensuring comprehensive cardiac care under one roof.

Malik Mukhtar Ahmed, Coordinator to the Prime Minister on National Health Services, announced this major development, emphasizing the government's commitment to providing advanced medical facilities to the public.

Ahmed reiterated the government's strong commitment to improving the performance and infrastructure of hospitals across the country.

These upgrades at Polyclinic Hospital are part of a broader strategy to elevate the standard of healthcare services, ensuring that patients receive the best possible medical care.

Of the total project cost, Rs2bn has been allocated for FY2024–25.
