LAHORE

Other provinces must benefit from the experiences of the Punjab Healthcare Commission (PHC) and its model must be replicated in other federating units to provide better healthcare facilities by implementing the Minimum Service Delivery Standards (MSDS).

According to a press release, Members of the Senate Standing Committee on Devolution observed this on Friday at a meeting held at the Punjab Civil Secretariat with its chairperson Mir Kabeer Ahmed Muhammad Shahi in the chair.
