They praised the PPHI Board for its effective oversight and acknowledged the round-the-clock efforts of Provincial Coordinator Haroon Kasi. According to the statement, the delivery of modern diagnostic and treatment equipment to remote areas was previously considered unrealistic but has now become a reality.
