The major challenge for Primary and Secondary Health Department is to boost the confidence of general public in the primary health care system. The reality is that most of the institutions at secondary level are not currently providing healthcare services up to the desired level, owing to multiple factors including large patient influx, scarcity of resources, human resource deficiency and non-functional equipment. Due to lack of planning and monitoring, the past efforts did not conclude in the shape of integrated healthcare regime rather these have resulted in haphazard construction, poor maintenance, lack of basic facilities, absence of waiting areas, and shabby outlook. Resultantly, the patients prefer to visit tertiary level hospitals for treatment of even very common ailments. With this in view, the department under the guidance of CM Punjab, had decided to revamp 125 THQ and DHQ Hospitals in 2017.
