The Punjab Healthcare Commission (PHC) has sealed two drug treatment and rehabilitation centres for insufficient psychiatric, health and residential facilities after evacuating 26 persons on Thursday.

According to details, the PHC teams had conducted raids on four treatment centres, and closed down two facilities, which included Taha Tark-e-Manshiat aur Nafsiat Centre, and Rehab Home in Faisalabad. The PHC evacuated 26 individuals from the centres prior to sealing these premises.

The spokesperson of the PHC said that these centres were functional without the requisite human resource, that is, psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors, paramedical staff and insufficient facilities like the residential and emergency cover. “Moreover, the respective administrations of these centres had not displayed rate lists of treatment and consultation,” he added.
