Balochistan Hospital Completes 100 Major Surgeries for the First Time

Mir Ghulam Qadir Bugti Memorial Hospital in Baiker completes 100 major surgeries for the first time.- File Photo A major healthcare milestone has been achieved in Balochistan as the Mir Ghulam Qadir Bugti Memorial Hospital in Baiker has completed 100 major surgeries for the first time, expanding access to surgical care in the province's remote areas. According to an official statement, the hospital successfully performed 100 major surgical procedures, including emergency and complex cases. The development marks an important step in expanding specialised healthcare services beyond major urban centres and providing patients in remote parts of Balochistan with access to treatment closer to their communities. Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti expressed satisfaction over the completion of the 100 surgeries and described the achievement as an important milestone in the hospital's medical services. He said the availability of surgical facilities at the local level means patients no longer have to travel long distances to major cities for treatment. The Chief Minister also appreciated the efforts of the hospital administration, doctors, nurses and operating theatre staff in achieving the milestone. The Mir Ghulam Qadir Bugti Memorial Hospital has a 24-hour operational theatre, allowing patients to receive emergency and specialised surgical services locally. The expansion of surgical capacity in Baiker is particularly significant for communities in remote areas, where geographical distance can create additional barriers to timely medical treatment. The completion of 100 major surgeries demonstrates the growing capacity of the hospital to handle both emergency and complex surgical cases while reducing the need for patients to seek treatment outside their local area. The development is part of broader efforts to extend healthcare facilities to remote parts of Balochistan and improve access to essential medical services closer to where people live.
