This is the fifth such facility in the Federal Capital being run according to the defined standards to ensure quality and serve the poor people with dignity.
The 100-bed facility has been established with the collaboration between the PBM and the Turkish Cultural Ministry. Ten beds have been specified for the women at the Panagah.
