The Punjab government has approved Rs. 11.65 billion for establishing two new hospitals to strengthen healthcare facilities across the province. The decision aims to improve access to medical services and provide better treatment facilities to residents.
The Provincial Development Working Party (PDWP) approved both projects during its 13th meeting, chaired by Planning and Development Board Chairman Dr. Naeem Rauf. The meeting reviewed several development schemes covering healthcare, education, infrastructure and other public services.
New Hospitals Planned In Murree And Rawalpindi
Under the approved projects, the government allocated Rs. 1.507 billion for establishing a 50-bed hospital in Bhurban, Murree. The facility will expand healthcare access for residents and visitors in the surrounding areas.
Additionally, authorities approved Rs. 10.143 billion for establishing a new Children’s Hospital in Rawalpindi. The specialised facility aims to strengthen paediatric healthcare services and provide dedicated treatment options for children.
Both projects form part of Punjab’s wider efforts to improve public healthcare infrastructure. Moreover, the allocations will support the development of additional medical facilities across the province.
Punjab Approves Wider Development Projects
Besides healthcare, the PDWP approved several other development schemes worth billions of rupees. These include infrastructure improvements, educational facilities, traffic management and industrial development initiatives.
The government also approved Rs. 18.862 billion for improving academic, infrastructure and operational facilities at Punjab University of Technology in Rasul, Mandi Bahauddin.
Furthermore, authorities allocated funds for sewerage systems, stormwater drainage and road improvements in multiple cities. These initiatives aim to improve basic facilities and address infrastructure challenges.
The latest approvals highlight Punjab’s continued investment in public services. However, the timely execution of these projects will determine how effectively residents benefit from improved healthcare and development facilities.
