Musa said that the Defence Headquarters would
ensure that they get the best treatment.
“Even if it will take us taking them abroad for treatment or other surgeries that cannot be done here, we will do that,” he added.
He expressed delight with the hospital environment and the professional manner with which the doctors, nurses and other personnel were handling patients in the hospital.
The CDS restated his commitment in giving priority to the welfare of troops.
“Without them, nothing can be done in the fight against insecurity and criminality. We are therefore together with them and praying for their quick recovery,” he said.
