LGH to set up corona wards in private hospitals

The administration of Lahore General Hospital has completed the pre-arrangements of setting up corona wards and ICUs in two nearby private hospitals and also finalised the duty roster of doctors and paramedics in this regard.
In case of potential increase in the number of patients of corona in the public sector hospitals, the patients could be provided timely treatment facilities at the designated private hospitals.
Principal Postgraduate Medical Institute Prof. Dr. Sardar Muhammad Alfreed Zafar visited these hospitals and issued necessary instructions to the administration.
In the light of directions of the Punjab Health Department, staff will be given 15 days leave after completing one-week duty at the Corona Isolation Ward at the LGH and new staff will replace them.
The Principal PGMI said that initially 50 beds in each hospital have been allocated to the private hospitals and the number can be increased if needed.
