The Chief Minister's Special Monitoring Unit (SMU) conducted visits to various Basic Health Units (BHU) and Rural Health Centres (RHC) where new buildings are being constructed under the Revamping of BHUs and RHCs, as part of the Chief Minister Punjab’s Health Reforms Program. The visits were carried out in multiple cities and rural areas including BHU Sarai Mughal, BHU Handal, and BHU Ram Thaman in Kasur; BHU Chak 648-GB in Faisalabad; BHU Bherote, BHU Hunjra, and BHU Mahmood Abad in Gujrat; RHC Waryam Wala, BHU Chak No. 482-JB, BHU Haveli Lal, and RHC Bagh in Jhang; BHU Chak No. 278 JB and BHU Chak No. 90 JB in Toba Tek Singh; BHU Chak No. 09-NB and BHU Chaba Purana in Bhalwal, as well as RHC 75 SB and RHC Bhabra in Sargodha; and the health facility at Langer Makhdoom in Chiniot. During the visits, the SMU team inspected the construction sites to assess whether the ongoing work is being executed as per the approved PC-1 specifications and government standards. Special focus was placed on verifying the quality of construction materials, adherence to safety protocols, and compliance with design layouts. The team checked for any irregularities or misuse of resources and evaluated whether the infrastructure—such as foundation, brickwork, roofing, plumbing, and electrical wiring—was being developed in line with Punjab Government’s prescribed standards. Additional aspects reviewed included site cleanliness, material storage conditions, on-site supervision mechanisms, and the pace of construction. The monitoring team emphasized that the new buildings must be constructed with integrity and transparency, ensuring a durable and functional healthcare environment for future use.
