The administration of Lahore General Hospital (LGH) has decided to get rid of all the papers by computerising all the departments of the hospital. Under this project, to be completed at a cost of Rs 5 crore, all the staff of LGH, including doctors, nurses and paramedics would be imparted computer training.
Prof Dr Tariq Salah ud Din, principal Post Graduate Medical Institute and LGH, said while presiding over a meeting of administrative doctors including MS LGH Dr. Muhammad Hassan.
Salah ud Din said with the completion of computerisation process at LGH, not only the health facilities provision system would be established on modern basis but the administrative problems would also be controlled. Moreover, doctors, nurses and paramedics would be able to serve ailing humanity more efficiently.
