She said that this would provide the people of the province, especially the poor, with quality government-level health facilities at their doorsteps.
Shania Khan said that the Chief Minister was enjoying the support of all parliamentary parties and following mutual consultations, all possible measures would be taken for the development of the province to provide employment to the youth to eradicate poverty in the province.
