Prime Minister Emphasizes Non-political Approach for Health and Education Projects

 

During his visit to the Rawalpindi Institute of Urology and Transplantation (RIUT) on Tuesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized that development projects, especially those related to health and education, should not be politicized and should be implemented in the best interest of the general public.PM Sharif stressed that no one should be allowed to politicize any government projects. He highlighted the importance of unity for the proper implementation of the country's constitution.

Expressing satisfaction with the successful completion of the first phase of the hospital, where patients were receiving top-quality medical treatment for dialysis, kidney ailments, and surgeries, PM Sharif praised the Punjab Administration of Health for their effective operationalization of the hospital. He also commended the dedication of doctors and nurses.

PM Sharif mentioned that Rs 5 billion had been spent on RIUT so far and recalled that he had laid the foundation stone of the hospital back in 2012. He expressed regret that the project had been delayed by the previous government, which could have otherwise been made operational much earlier.

PM Sharif also referred to an allegation made against him by a former chief justice of the Supreme Court, which had halted the work on a kidney and liver transplant hospital in Lahore. He emphasized that such discouragement of development and social work had a negative impact on the provision of civic facilities for the general public.

PM Sharif highlighted that serving the masses was a noble cause that required synchronized efforts from all stakeholders. He took a round of various sections of the RIUT during his visit and inquired about the health of patients. He instructed the administration to spare no effort in providing the best possible medical facilities to the patients. o:p>
