150-bed Quetta hospital project nears completion: CM Bugti

Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti announced that the 150-bed Balochistan Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (BICVD) is nearing completion and is set to be inaugurated later this month. The hospital aims to provide modern diagnostic and treatment facilities for heart diseases within the province, eliminating the need for patients to travel to other provinces for specialised cardiac care.

The BICVD will be equipped with modern medical equipment, qualified specialists, and an effective administrative system to ensure timely diagnosis, quality treatment, and emergency medical care for cardiac patients. The inauguration will be accompanied by the opening of three satellite centres linked to the hospital, providing basic medical services and ensuring timely diagnosis.

In the second phase, these satellite centres will be expanded to all divisional headquarters, with Chest Pain Management Centres established in every district to provide immediate medical assistance for patients experiencing chest pain or symptoms of cardiovascular diseases.
