Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has approved the construction of KulSoom Nawaz Hospital in the heart of Rawalpindi Cantonment, with the aim of providing international standard healthcare and medical facilities to the citizens of Rawalpindi Cantt.

According to informed sources, a PC-1 (Project Concept-1) has been prepared for the construction of a hospital of 3,000 beds on site of the old GTS bus stand at Chohar Chowk.

The construction of the project begins later in the year, with financing for the project to be approved under the Public Service Development Project (PSDP).

The hospital will also include a department of heart patients. The creation of KulSoom Nawaz Hospital will not only benefit the local population of Rawalpindi, but also the population of Taxila, Attock, Haripur, Fateh Jang, Tarnol, Hassan Abdal and Golra.

Local MNA Malik Ibra and MPA Malik Iftikhar say their government is obliged to transform rawalpindi into a developed city.

The construction of this hospital was a long -lasting dream which in the past, the area was neglected because of politics, but now the power of the hands of people’s elected representatives is lies, they add.

According to PML-N legislators, the construction of KulSoom Nawaz Hospital marks the beginning of a new era with development in the constituency. Special funds are allocated for this project, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will lay his foundation stone.
