Acting on orders from Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, a delegation led by Special Assistant Shoaib Mirza executed an unannounced night inspection at Benazir Bhutto General Hospital in Rawalpindi.
The group checked multiple patient rooms, medical devices, hygiene conditions, and drug distribution during their walkthrough.
Inspectors uncovered bad sanitation inside the facility's canteen alongside expired products stored in the fridge.
Insiders reported that authorities shut down the eatery, levied a substantial penalty, and took the guilty parties into custody.
The evaluation team additionally checked patient care amenities, medical hardware status, cleaning standards, and pharmaceutical supplies.
Shoaib Mirza stressed that any failure or slackness regarding medical services across public facilities remains unacceptable under a strict zero-tolerance approach.
Mirza noted that unexpected visits to state medical centers happen per the chief minister's instructions to evaluate standards, hygiene, and management, confirming these checks will persist.
