Dera Ismail Khan is set to witness a major advancement in its healthcare infrastructure as the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government has released Rs1.11 billion for the establishment of modern Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories (Cath Labs) and a state-of-the-art Burn Center. The facilities will be developed in two major hospitals of the city - Mufti Mehmood Memorial Hospital and District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital. While talking to APP, K-P Chief Minister's focal person on developmental affairs, Nawaz Khan said that the funds have been officially sanctioned by the provincial Finance Department. This initiative marks a critical step forward in providing specialized treatment for cardiac patients and burn victims within the region, eliminating the need to seek such services in distant cities. The project has been met with widespread appreciation from the local population. Citizens have lauded Chief Minister Ali Amin Khan Gandapur for their commitment to fulfilling campaign promises and addressing the longstanding healthcare needs of southern K-P.
