the prime minister said in his address at the foundation-laying ceremony of a hospital in Mianwali&#8217;s Namal valley.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister said the government alone could not revamp all hospitals across the country, however financial assistance from private sector could yield positive results.<\/p>\n<p>He lauded British-Pakistani businessmen and founder of MCR property group Aneel Mussarat, who will finance the Namal hospital to cater to the health needs of thousands of patients.<\/p>\n<p>He said several other groups had also approached him to adopt a hospital, which was an encouraging sign.<\/p>\n<p>Terming corruption as the biggest impediment in the country&#8217;s progress, Prime Minister Khan said looters of public money would be held accountable at every cost.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This time, the powerful will come under the claw of accountability who had inflicted immense damage to the country during their tenures,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister said regardless of any opposition, the accountability process would proceed unhindered. &#8220;I have been waiting for this moment since 22 years [of my political struggle] to bring to book those who plundered public money,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said national culprits were raising hue and cry over accountability, dubbing it as &#8216;political revenge and a threat to democracy&#8217;. &#8220;In fact, they want to hide their corruption, but people are well aware of these political gimmicks,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Imran Khan said the government had given full authority to the institutions to proceed with the accountability process without any pressure.<\/p>\n<p>By ending corruption, the prime minister said he wanted to restore the confidence of international investors in Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>He said several overseas Pakistani entrepreneurs told him that they were willing to invest in Pakistan, but were hesitant over corruption.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister expressed confidence that Pakistan would achieve the status of a strong and prosperous country as the government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had started taking tough measures in the best national interest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s my promise to the nation that I will get this country on the trajectory of development,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar, Adviser to PM on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood and a large number of overseas Pakistanis attended the event.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: VNS Islamabad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MIANWALI, Jul 19 (APP): Prime Minister Imran Khan Friday invited the private sector to step forward in adopting the country&#8217;s major hospitals and join the government&#8217;s journey of bringing improvement in health sector. &#8220;Under the adopt-a-hospital project, we can bring a significant change in health sector through public-private partnership,&#8221;
