Emphasis­ing the government’s commitment to swiftly completing these projects, the provincial health minister under­scored that any delay in providing treatment to patients visiting govern­ment hospitals was unacceptable. He urged hospital heads to actively con­tribute to the expedited completion of the revamping endeavors. Khawaja Salman Rafique reiterated the govern­ment’s zero-tolerance policy towards negligence in patient care, inadequate sanitation facilities, medication short­ages, and doctor absentee.
