Shehbaz Sharif said the energy projects launched by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to address the electricity shortage problem were commendable.

He said hospitals were facing many problems. However, the government was making efforts to overcome them. CT scan facility would be ensured in all the 36 districts of the province.
World class laboratories had been set up to check the quality of medicines, he added.
