The major challenge for Primary & Secondary Health Department is to boost the confidence of general public in the primary health care system. The reality is that most of the institutions at secondary level are not currently providing health care 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 health care 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 proceed massive revamping of 40 THQ & DHQ Hospitals in 2017. Revamping of THQ Hospital Burewala in terms of Infrastructure, Equipment, Human Resource, and IT interventions took place under PC1 of revamping scheme of THQ Hospital Burewala from 2017 to 2021. Balance work of Revamping Scheme PC1 was revised for period from 2021 to 2023 where renovation of remaining areas of the hospital is taking place.
