ISLAMABAD: Decision has been taken to install two new MRI CT Scan machines in PIMS hospital Islamabad.
The summary in this regard has been sent to CADD ministry for approval. One each CT Scan and MRI machine was operating in PIMS hospital since last several years. The patients were given dates of several months for undergoing test. Some time these machines went out of order and the patients had to resort to private laboratories to undergo respective tests at exorbitant fees.
Sources said there is no CT Scan and MRI machine in Government Polyclinic hospital therefore, the patients from this hospital are also referred to PIMS.
Keeping in view day to day growing number of patients, the PIMS administration contacted JICA for installation of two new machines and JICA has provided funds in this regard.
