LAHORE: Inaugurating the newly-constructed block, here at Mayo Hospital, Punjab’s Senior Provincial Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Friday that health of women and children is the top priority of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif whose vision is to make Punjab an exemplary province in terms of education, health, public service, infrastructure, environment and governance.

The centre is equipped with all modern facilities for the treatment of children. Marriyum Aurangzeb visited various sections of the newly-constructed block and reviewed various medical facilities available there for the patients.

Punjab Health Minister Khawaja Salman Rafique said on the occasion that Peds Surgical Block also has a CSSD, central oxygen supply, a small operation theatre day care centre and pathology lab. The wards are named after legendary professors. He added that the number of beds in the oncology, dengue and medical wards of the Peds Medicine Unit has been increased from 25 to 48.
