KARACHI: The Chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari addressed the foundation stone ceremony of Zulfiqar Bhutto Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases on Monday.
During the ceremony, he highlighted the importance of National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) hospital, which he said was an appropriate answer to opponents. He claimed that no district of Punjab possessed a NICVD institution like Sukkur and that since the Sindh government ran NICVD in 2015, it was providing free treatment facilities and did not deny treatment to any deserving person.
The minister also announced the establishment of a new hospital for free heart treatment in Landhi, saying that there was no such hospital in the whole world that could treat this number of patients for free.
