Punjab Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Monday tasked the authorities concerned with turning Manawan Hospital, Lahore into a cancer hospital, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

While chairing a meeting in the committee room of Manawan Hospital, the chief minister gave in principle the approval for building a cancer hospital and sought a plan in this regard.

He also inspected the Manawan Hospital building and the proposed land for building the cancer hospital. He also inspected the building adjacent to the main building of Manawan Hospital.
