The Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) will run a trauma centre to be set up at Motorway to provide medical aid to the people. According to official sources, these services will help save precious lives as all basic facilities will be provided, including mobile operating unit.
They said this centre will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities while helicopter service will also be part of this centre so as to shift serious patients to the hospital.
In the first phase, a trauma centre, out of the three, will be set up at Bhera Service Station along the Motorway to provide medical help to the patients. Sources said a modern drug testing laboratory equipped with latest instruments is also being established in the federal capital to ensure testing of medicines in the country. The laboratory would substantially help check spurious and substandard drugs, they added.
They said the health ministry has recently initiated major project worth Rs 27 billion of National Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health (NMCH) Programme, which will be implemented over the next five years. The NMCH programme seeks to reduce maternal, neonatal and child deaths and illnesses and improve access to high quality and effective reproductive health services for all, particularly the marginalised and poor.
The key areas of intervention include availability of skilled birth attendants and provision of basic and comprehensive Emergency Obstetric Care (EOC) services and family planning services in collaboration with local communities.
