A hospital in Pakistan’s northeast named in honour of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is set to get a new nursing training centre, Anadolu Agency reports.

The Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Hospital Trust in Muzaffargarh, located some 380 kilometres (236 miles) from Lahore, capital of the north-eastern Punjab province, was given as a gift by Turkiye to Pakistan. It began its operations in July 2014 with 60 beds, which increased significantly to 500.

On Tuesday, Mohsin Naqvi, the caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab, visited the hospital and announced the proposed establishment of the nursing centre.

“I am so pleased to see that the hospital has maintained its international standards over the years,” Naqvi told reporters.

He said the provincial government would establish hospitals of similar standards across the province.

Apart from Muzaffargarh, the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Hospital Trust is currently running four hospitals on the outskirts of Lahore and two major blood transfusion centres in the Multan and Bahawalpur districts of Punjab.
