LAHORE: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday announced that half of the Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute (PKLI) patients would receive completely free of cost medical treatment.

“Minimum 50 per cent such people, who are poor but do not beg from others, will get free treatment whether they are facing kidney or live issues or they need transplantation,” Shehbaz Sharif said during his visit to the hospital in Lahore.

He said money earned through those who could afford the treatment would be transferred for treatment of poor apart from the government’s annual funding.

The Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) president promised that the nursing university of the hospital would be completed within one year. It would be a world class university, he claimed.

On this occasion, he lambasted former prime minister Imran Khan saying that he had nothing to do except for character assassination of the opposition leaders and pushing them to the wall. He said Imran ruined the national economy in vendetta against other political parties. He roasted him for facilitating the cartels of sugar and other industries.

“Just because the PKLI was constructed during the PML-N government’s tenure, it was closed for three years,” he said.
