The federal government has decided to construct a 200-bed hospital in Tharparkar, a desert district of Sindh.
Tharparkar district is one of the twenty-nine districts of Sindh. It is largest district of Sindh province by land area. The livelihood of Thari people depends on rainfall agriculture.
The Ministry of National Health has formally communicated the decision to the Sindh chief secretary through an official letter.
The initiative follows Prime Minister’s 2023 visit to Thar, during which he announced the hospital’s construction. The federal government has now urged Sindh authorities to expedite the process and provide a suitable land for the project.
