Government of the Punjab is making strenuous efforts for a better and effective healthcare system. The defining step in this direction was to recognize the importance of healthcare at Primary and Secondary Levels. As a first step towards better health care at primary and secondary level, a separate department was created. The basic mandate of Primary & Secondary Health Department is to focus on preventive health care in primary sector along with basic diagnostics and treatment facilities at secondary level. The context is to primarily lessen the load on tertiary care health facilities.
- Established as Civil Dispensary: 1941
- Upgraded as THQ Hospital: 1983 – 84
- Upgraded as DHQ Hospital: 1993
- Total Number of Beds: 125
- Total Area: 112,935 sq. ft.
- Covered Area: 56,037 sq. ft.
- Uncovered Area: 56,898 sq. ft.
- Residential Block (Covered Area): 43,540 sq. ft.
The major challenge for Primary & Secondary Health Department is to boost the confidence of general public in the primary healthcare 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 has decided to launch massive revamping of 40 THQ and DHQ Hospitals.
