MULTAN, Jun 28 (APP):In a landmark move aligned with Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s vision for inclusive healthcare, the evening OPD shift at Khawaja Fareed Social Security Hospital was going to be started from July 1, 2025.
This initiative, spearheaded by Provincial Minister Malik Faisal Ayub Khokhar and Punjab Social Security Commissioner Muhammad Ali, aimed to provide quality medical services to industrial workers and their families outside of working hours.
Medical Superintendent Dr. Abida Amjad expressed these views during a press conference, highlighting that the evening OPD would be fully functional with senior consultants available to examine patients. Departments including medicine, surgery, gynecology, radiology, and even operation theaters will remain operational during these extended hours.
The step will eliminate the need for workers to take time off from their jobs for medical consultations, thus ensuring their health without compromising work performance.
