  "summary": "Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti announced that the Balochistan Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (BICVD), a 150-bed hospital, is nearing completion and is set to be inaugurated later this month. The hospital aims to provide Balochistan residents with modern diagnostic and treatment facilities for heart diseases, eliminating the need for patients to travel to other provinces for specialized cardiac care. During the first meeting of the BICVD Board of Directors, chaired by CM Bugti, the appointment of renowned cardiologist Dr Jalal Khan as the institute’s interim head was approved. Dr Khan will oversee preparations to ensure the hospital meets modern medical standards and becomes operational. The meeting also revealed that three satellite centres linked to the hospital would become operational during the initial phase, providing basic medical services and ensuring timely diagnosis. In the second phase, the network of satellite centres will be expanded to all divisional headquarters, with Chest Pain Management Centres established in every district to provide immediate medical assistance and timely diagnosis for patients experiencing chest pain or symptoms of cardiovascular diseases.",
