Shahbaz opens 60-bed field hospital at Kot Addu today
PUNJAB Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif will inaugurate a 60-bed field hospital, established by the Punjab Health Department in collaboration with the King Edward Medical University and allied hospitals, in Kot Addu on Monday (today) to provide tertiary care facilities to the flood affectees.
A 48-member medical team, including 25 senior doctors as well as nurses and paramedical staff, headed by KEMU Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Asad Aslam Khan, Mayo Hospital Medical Superintendent Dr Zahid Pervaiz have already reached Kot Addu on Sunday evening to check the arrangements. LAH MS Dr Shagufta Zaidi, LWH MS Dr Afzal Shaheen and Program Coordinator College of Vision Sciences Dr Ismat are also part of the team.
Talking to The News from Kot Addu, the KEMU vice chancellor and the Mayo Hospital MS said the KEMU, Mayo Hospital, Lady Wellington Hospital, Lady Aitchison Hospital and College of Vision Sciences would provide medical facilities to flood affected patients in the hospital for one year. They said the KEMU and attached hospitals would provide not only specialists and trained human resource but also necessary equipment, medicines and other logistics to run this field hospital successfully by providing quality health services to the flood affectees. “We will try to send teams of doctors and other medical staff for two weeks on alternate basis, which may also be replaced with fresh teams after one week if fatigue undermines their performance,” said Dr Zahid Pervaiz and added that all kinds of surgeries and medical treatment would be provided to the flood victims while complicated cases would be referred to Lahore.
Labour committee meeting: THE Punjab government will soon hold a meeting of the Tripartite Labour Committee comprising workers, employers and government representatives to raise employment opportunities and improve benefits and working conditions for labourers.
According to a press statement on Sunday, the assurance was given by Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to a delegation of the Pakistan Workerís Federation (PWF), headed by its Secretary General Khurshid Ahmed.
The meeting will discuss the housing facilities for workers and their welfare besides education and vocational training facilities for their children.
The delegation apprised the CM with the multidimensional problems faced by the working class in the economic and social spheres. They also complained that many industrialists in the province had not been implementing the labour laws. The delegation appreciated the provincial governmentís efforts to provide relief to the flood-affected people.
Rehabilitation underway: Shahbaz Sharif has said that the Punjab government and all its departments are engaged in the relief operation for the flood-hit people from the very first day and now the phase of rehabilitation of the affectees is underway. He was talking to Federal Minister for Defence Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar who called on him here on Sunday.
Apprising the minister of flood devastation and relief activities in the province, the CM said that the provincial government was implementing a comprehensive programme for the rehabilitation of calamity-stricken people and distribution of assistance through Watan Cards in various districts was in progress. He said the administration, police, welfare organisations, elected representatives and philanthropists who took part in relief activities were now contributing to the rehabilitation of the flood victims.
Mr Shahbaz said that the one billion rupees collected in the relief fund, would be spent only on the rehabilitation of the flood-hit people and in a fair way. He said the Punjab government was constructing modern villages in place of wiped out villages, adding that brick houses having all amenities would be given free of cost to the flood affectees in the modern villages.
