In a landmark event today, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif laid the foundation stone for the Jinnah Medical Complex Project in Islamabad, a cutting-edge medical center that promises to revolutionize healthcare in the region. The complex, spanning over approximately 800 kanals of land, will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for the treatment of complex diseases affecting the lungs, heart, kidneys, and cancer.
During the ceremony, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif highlighted the significance of the Jinnah Medical Complex, emphasizing its role as a premier medical facility not only for the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad but also for regions such as Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Kashmir, and beyond. He stated that the complex is designed to meet the highest standards of medical care, ensuring accessibility for people from various parts of the country.
“The Jinnah Medical Complex is not just a hospital; it is a comprehensive medical hub,” the Prime Minister said. “It will house modern laboratories and nursing schools where our medical professionals can receive advanced training and engage in cutting-edge research.” He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Prince Rahim Aga Khan for providing free technical consultancy for the project, which will greatly enhance the quality and effectiveness of the medical services offered.
One of the key features of the Jinnah Medical Complex will be its commitment to providing free treatment for underprivileged patients. Prime Minister Sharif assured that the complex would offer top-notch medical care regardless of a patient’s financial status. Additionally, the complex will include first aid emergency wards and an air ambulance service, enabling rapid response and transportation for emergency cases, such as accidents, ensuring no time is wasted in delivering critical care.
The establishment of the Jinnah Medical Complex marks a significant step forward in Pakistan’s healthcare sector, promising to elevate medical standards and provide essential services to those in need. This initiative reflects the government’s dedication to improving public health infrastructure and ensuring that high-quality medical care is accessible to all citizens.
