Together with technical experts, the Commander inspected installation of scan and X-ray machines, laboratory equipment, theatre instruments, etc, now underway in different sections of the hospital.

He also inquired into various aspects regarding final touches of the project as the Commander, together with a few senior officers toured the construction site. 

Equipped with most modern and sophisticated MRI scanners, a roof-top chopper pad, automatic x-ray screening machinery and a host of state-of-the-art technicalities of the best quality, the new Military Hospital complex is to be entirely manned by professionally-trained Army personnel for both administrative and medical duties.
