Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of Gamma Knife radiosurgery facility, CM Murad said the PPP-led Sindh government would continue serving the people of the province despite criticism.
He said the health sector is testimony to the government’s public service.
“There is still a lot that needs to be done but we don’t have enough resources,” the CM lamented, announcing that the provincial government is going to challenge the Council of Common Interest’s (CCI) decisions, including one related to the sixth population census results, in the parliament.
