This upgrade aims to enhance medical treatment and healthcare facilities specifically for pediatric patients, according to Hospital Director Sajjad Ahmed Afridi. The new facilities will improve treatment arrangements for young patients and strengthen the department's operational capacity. The hospital has been working tirelessly to fulfill the commitments made to the people of Hazara, as per the instructions from the Board of Governors Chairman, Professor Dr Abid Jamil.
