Health Minister Dhani Ram Shandil today said that state-of-the-art equipment, including CT scan, X-ray, ultrasound and other diagnostic machines, would be procured and installed in medical colleges and model health institutions within a month.

Shandil, while chairing a meeting of the high-powered purchase committee here, said that the government had decided to add quality items to the baby care kits provided to newborns in government as well as private institutions. “The process for the procurement of these kits is in final stage and these will be made available in hospitals in August,” he added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
