CM visit to District Headquarters Hospital, Kasur

Lahore : Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif paid a surprise visit to District Headquarters Hospital, Kasur without any protocol. He reached to the DHQ Hospital, Kasur by road without any prior information. There were only two vehicles along with him. Kasur administration remained totally unaware of this surprise visit of the Chief Minister and he also kept the staff in the dark about this tour.

The Chief Minister called the DC and DPO Kasur to the hospital during his tour and issued them necessary instructions.

He inquired the patients and their attendants about the provision of free medicines and healthcare facilities. They thanked the Chief Minister Punjab Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif for taking personal interest in bringing substantive improvements in hospital-conditions. The patients and their attendants also apprised the Chief Minister about their problems.

They thanked the Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif for issuing on-spot orders for the solution of their problems and said that due to his personal attention, much improvement has been brought in the hospital and free medicines have been provided, while treatment is also going well. “May Almighty Allah reward you for service of ailing humanity and grant further zeal to do more” they prayed.

One elderly person placed his hand at the head of Chief Minister; prayed for him and said that he has a passion for serving the ailing humanity and the people are with him in this noble cause. Different attendants of the patients also raised slogans of “Long live Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif; look, look who has come; it is a lion, it is a lion.”

He expressed his utmost displeasure over the absence of Deputy MS in the hospital and said that if the MS has gone to Lahore, then it was the duty of Deputy MS to remain available in the hospital to take care of the patients. He issued orders to immediately suspend the absent DMS and said that the Punjab government has been bringing improvements in hospitals with a cost of billions of rupees and on the other side, the administrative officers in the hospitals have adopted such carefree attitude which cannot be tolerated at any cost.

The Chief Minister expressed his utmost displeasure over non-wearing of uniform by supervisor and other janitorial staff and directed to take action, adding that non-wearing officials be changed as per directions of the Punjab government. Any violation of governmental orders regarding wearing uniform will not be tolerated and the janitorial staff must follow this instruction. There is a need to devise a system of effective monitoring, he added.
