The
project spreads over centrally located piece of land measuring 61.72
hectares (317 Kanals). Outpatient department was started in 1995 and
indoor facilities were commissioned in 1998 as a make shift basis in
the emergency block with a bed strength of 250. There are 38
different specialities related to medical, surgical and diagnostic
fields. With the overwhelming number of patients and ever increasing
work load, an endeavour has
been made in increasing the bed strength unofficially to 418 by
utilizing all the physical space available in emergency and
diagnostic block of the hospital. The work on indoor and operation
theatre block has been started and is in full swing. After its
completion the total bed strength would be increased to 684.
A
dedicated team of highly trained pediatric specialists and
paramedical staff are engaged in child care. This is where the
concept of integrated facilities plays its most crucial role. While
the sick child gets immediate medical attention, comprehensive
preventive and community outreach programs serve to improve the
infant mortality and under 5 year mortality in Pakistan.
I
take this opportunity to express my appreciation and felicitations
to the faculty members and hospital management for their commendable
services rendered for the institution. I hope that with the
continued teamwork this institution would emerge as a symbol of
service to humanity and as a centre of excellence.
