Punjab Government Allocates Rs. 2 Billion for New Hospital and Medical College in Layyah
The Punjab government has officially released Rs. 2 billion to fund the construction of a new 286-bed general hospital in Layyah, Pakistan. According to district administration officials, this significant investment aims to enhance local healthcare infrastructure. In addition to the hospital, funds have been allocated within the current fiscal year for the establishment of an adjacent medical college, which will likely improve medical education and staffing capabilities in the region. The administration clarified that the new facility will operate independently from the existing District Hospital. Beyond healthcare, the local government announced several other development initiatives, including the restoration of the Bahadur Digital Library for public use and the expected operational launch of the long-delayed Chowk Azam Trauma Centre following new funding releases. Furthermore, a work order has been issued for the construction of a cattle market valued at Rs. 1 billion, with phased payments planned for landowners. Authorities also committed to constructing labor sheds and ensuring basic amenities, such as water availability, for workers at these project sites, reflecting a broader push for infrastructural and social development in the Layyah district.
