Rafaqat the project executive Engineer, the project head of Revamping of Lahore General Hospital byCNW1 observed that Lahore General hospital building had surpassed its design life and with the passage of time haphazard constructions were obstructing the flow of patients. Secondly the earlier constructions were not in good condition which were damaged from time to time. Sometimes hospitalwas deprived of one facility and sometimes it was deprived of another facility. Work wasn’t doing the proper planning. Provision of quality secondary healthcare services to all sections of society across Punjab has been among the top priorities of provincial governments. The government not only took several measures to improve the condition and environment but also improved the medical services provided by these hospitals. Among these initiatives, the revamping program can be cited as the representative initiativeof the government to reform the health care sectorinPunjab. The revamping project for Lahore GeneralHospital was initiated by CNW, Government of Punjab.
