Street lights installed on main road leading to GIMS hospital

SUKKUR, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Jun, 2026) In a move aimed at improving public access to healthcare facilities, modern street lights have been installed along the newly constructed Main Rohri Canal Bridge Road leading to the Gambat Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS).

The installation was completed this week following the recent construction of the road, a key access route for thousands of patients and attendants visiting the hospital daily.

Director GIMS Hospital Dr. Rahim Bux Bhatti on Monday said the initiative would ensure safer travel for patients, attendants and residents, particularly during night hours.

“Our priority is not only to provide quality healthcare but also to ensure that people can reach the hospital safely and without difficulty,” he said.

GIMS's Media consultant said the illuminated road would help reduce risks for ambulances and private vehicles carrying patients from Gambat and surrounding areas of Khairpur and Sukkur districts.

GIMS, a major tertiary care hospital in upper Sindh, handles a large volume of emergency and OPD cases daily. Hospital administration said improving infrastructure around the facility remained part of its public welfare efforts.

The road project and street lighting are expected to facilitate round the clock access to the hospital.
