Doctor Matee Rajput, a hair transplant surgeon from Salford favoured by celebrities including Katie Price and Gareth Gates, has unveiled the £1m building in Pakistan.

Dr Matee's dad Sana Ullah died in 2021 after contracting the virus. His son, the surgical director at KSL Clinic in Salford, said it had been his father's dream to open a hospital in the area where he grew up in Punjab.

The hospital is set to open in three stages over the coming months, with facilities including a pharmacy, emergency care, laboratories and investigation units, four inpatient wards, a minor operation theatre, maternity ward and an intensive care unit.
