  "account": "Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif directed the relevant authorities to complete Phase 1 of the Jinnah Medical Complex and Research Centre by 2027, prioritizing the provision of modern healthcare facilities for citizens. At a review meeting in Islamabad, he emphasized the importance of accelerating reforms in the health sector and directing the construction of the Federal Government Polyclinic Phase-2 extension, which will serve as the initial phase of the Jinnah complex. The PM ordered the installation of state-of-the-art medical equipment and expected all efforts to be made towards developing the hospital into a world-class facility. He also insisted on maintaining transparency and quality standards through third-party validation of the project. Notably, he honored Nurse Razia Noreen for saving a newborn during a recent fire at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), presenting her with a Rs10 million cheque and announcing that she would receive the Sitara-e-Khidmat award on March 23, 2027. The minister vowed to punish those responsible for the PIMS fire and assured that every possible measure would be taken to ensure the successful completion of the Jinnah complex.",
