First phase of PKLI Inaugurated

Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif formally inaugurated the first phase of Punjab Kidney and Liver institute (PKLI).
First phase of the project became operational costing Rs 20 billion. This centre is the first of its kind in South Asia where the patients not only from Punjab but across Pakistan will be treated.
Shehbaz Sharif inspected different sections of the hospital after the inauguration of the first phase and went to the OPD, dialysis centre and other departments to check the latest medical facilities there.
Punjab government had developed PKLI from its own resources and hepatitis filter clinics were attached with it which was treating patients in different districts. “In the beginning of the next year, such filter clinics will be functional in all the districts of the province and the poor patients coming from anywhere from the country will be treated free of cost. It is my commitment that Pakistan can be made a great state with collective efforts so let’s make it a great state collectively.”
