The minister while addressing the ceremony said it was a top priority of the Sindh government to ensure state-of-the-art health facilities to the people of Sindh and BIUT was the first link of the series. She said BIUT was a gift by the Sindh government to the residents of Shaheed Benazirabad and its adjoining areas as earlier the kidney patients had to travel to Karachi and other cities for treatment.

Senior Professor of SIUT Dr Anwar Naqvi and SIUT-BIUT Coordinator Muhammad Ameen said BIUT comprises 300 beds where patients would get the same free treatment facilities as SIUT Karachi and Sukkur, which include the latest Robotic Operation Theater and Dialysis.
