Lahore General Hospital (LGH) has been made a patient-friendly hospital after its upgradation in terms of installation of modern electromedical equipment and appointment of specialist doctors.
PGM/LGH Principal Dr Sajjad Hussain said here on Sunday that the hospital's 'emergency' and 'outdoor' departments had received over 680,000 patients, who during 2007 were provided free of cost medicines worth Rs 45 million.
He said that the hospital conducted over 40,000 operations, 30,517 CT scans, 7,500 MRI tests, 438,000 laboratory tests, over 125,000 x-rays, 47,399 ultrasound tests and 6,636 patients' dialysis were also carried out during the last calendar year.
LGH Medical Superintendent (MS) Dr Umer Farooq Baloch said that patients admitted to the hospital were given breakfast and meals with the cooperation of philanthropists, while new shades were installed for patients' attendants.
The MS said that the hospital's initiative to keep evening outdoor open greatly facilitated the locals besides helping them to avoid quacks, and pregnant women were saved from illiterate 'dais' owing to the facility of free caesarean operations in labour room.
