PESHAWAR: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday finally inaugurated the long-delayed project of renovation, repair, refurbishment and rehabilitation project of Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH).
The previous Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI)-led coalition government had granted Rs700 to the KTH administration for the scheme. The hospital was supposed to complete the project in six months under the supervision of the Board of Governors (BoG).
The hospital was built in the 1970s and the then prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had inaugurated it. It was stated to be one of the finest buildings of that time where all health facilities were available under one roof.
