Chairing a meeting regarding provision of ambulance service to National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) in Karachi, he said that trained staff will also be provided to NICVD.

In March, the Sindh chief minister handed over 12 well-equipped ambulances to Tharparkar district for its six taluka hospitals.

“I am pleased to hand over 12 well-equipped and state-of-the-art 4×4 Toyota Hilux Ambulances, two for each Taluka headquarters hospital of Tharparkar for timely transportation of patients from rural and hardest areas to hospitals or even to tertiary level health facilities for management of critical conditions,” he said.

He said that Tharparkar was one of the most under-privileged areas of the province.
