ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Interior Mohsin Naqvi laid the foundation stone for a state-of-the-art 100-bed international hospital in the country’s capital, Islamabad to revolutionize healthcare for policemen and the public.
The new hospital is a collaborative project between the National Police Foundation (NPF) and a Turkish private firm. The NPF is providing the land for the development, while the Turkish company has committed Rs5 billion to finance the project.
Minister Naqvi praised the project as a major milestone for the NPF, which has recently undergone revitalization under the leadership of Sabir Ahmed, Managing Director of the NPF. He emphasized that the establishment of this hospital aligns with the broader goals of the NPF, which focuses on the welfare of police officers and the families of those who have fallen in the line of duty.
“The proceeds from this project, along with other NPF ventures, will be directed towards improving the welfare of our police force and supporting the families of our martyrs,” Naqvi stated during the ceremony.
The Minister also mentioned that discussions were ongoing with the Capital Development Authority (CDA) for potential joint projects.
Naqvi said that the NPF’s efforts extend beyond Islamabad. He noted the successful completion of a housing project in Hyderabad and the ongoing revamp of the National Police Academy, underscoring the organization’s commitment to enhancing infrastructure and resources for law enforcement agencies across the country.
