Peshawar

PESHAWAR: The long-awaited Cath Lab has been finally installed in the Saidu Sharif Teaching Hospital in Swat and is ready to be formally opened, according to officials of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Department.
Chief Minister Mahmood Khan had taken personal interest in the catheterisation laboratory (Cath Lab) in the tertiary care hospital of Saidu Sharif in his native Swat after learning that there was not a single such facility in any public sector hospital in the entire Malakand division.
The successive provincial governments, including the previous Pakistan Tehreek-I-Insaf (PTI)-led coalition government, ignored this important project as it needed Rs160 million.
