Quetta: Managing Director of Trauma Center at Provincial Sandeman Hospital in Quetta, Dr Arbab, emphasized on Saturday that the Balochistan government is making significant strides in breaking barriers in healthcare.
Dr Arbab highlighted the government’s unwavering commitment to providing top-notch medical facilities, particularly in the event of accidents, not only in Quetta but also in various districts across the province.
He underscored the collective efforts being made to ensure the delivery of quality healthcare services to the people of Balochistan, marking a pivotal step forward in enhancing emergency medical care throughout the region.
He said that currently, trauma centers are providing free treatment facilities to patients beyond their capacity.
In the last year, as many as 29,177 patients were treated at the trauma center in Quetta. In total, 2760 patients were admitted and 5088 operations were performed during the year 2023.
In Trauma Center Quetta, around 25511 X-rays, 1482 ultrasounds, 60828 laboratory tests, 18594 CT scans, and blood transfusions in 2434 patients were done during the last year.
The administration is providing better facilities to the patients admitted to the trauma center with the support of all the professors, senior doctors, young doctors, and other supporting staff.
The trauma center is providing treatment facilities to patients beyond its capacity. Due to its location in the heart of the city, Trauma Center Civil Hospital Quetta is full of beds at all times.
The construction work of the new 4-story building of the trauma center has been completed in a short period of six months, and 70 beds have been added, as earlier the trauma center consisted of 30 beds.
The patients from across the province have come for treatment.
