The Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) has launched its newly established Emergency Department, providing patients with access to improved emergency healthcare facilities.
The launch has generated excitement among hospital staff, including doctors and nurses, while citizens have expressed hope that the administrative shortcomings and lapses witnessed in the past will not be repeated.
According to the hospital administration, more than 69 patients were examined and treated during the initial hours of operation, with another 258 patients receiving medical attention since this morning. The administration also noted that the operation theatre’s functionality was assessed, resulting in a successful appendectomy performed under general anaesthesia in the new department.
PIMS Executive Director Professor Dr Tanveer Khaliq visited the newly operational emergency department to review the arrangements. To facilitate patients and staff, the administration has completed additional security and sanitation arrangements and installed a dedicated dashboard to ensure continuous monitoring of services.
The administration expressed its commitment to ensuring timely and quality healthcare services for the public.
