🚑 Patient Guidelines & Tips

To make your visit smoother, keep these Discover Jhang tips in mind:

• Blood Bank: Located inside the hospital. If you need blood, you generally need to provide a donor to replace the blood taken.
• Parking: A dedicated cycle/motorcycle stand is available near the main gate. Do not park on Gojra Road as it causes traffic jams and your bike may be lifted.
• Visiting Hours: Ward visiting hours are strictly monitored. Try to visit between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM to avoid being stopped by security.
