Pakistan Karachi Hospital: There has been an outcry due to lack of beds, ventilaters and staff in hospitals in many areas including Sindh and Karachi, Pakistan. Patients are coming to Karachi due to the plight of district hospitals.
Pakistan Hospital Conditions: Pakistan describes itself as very strong and powerful in front of the world, but it is not able to provide basic things to its own people. The biggest example of this is Sindh, especially the deteriorating condition of the hospitals of Karachi. The condition of the hospital here is very bad. People of Pakistan are seen being deprived of medical facilities like beds, ventilaters, medical staff etc. Due to this, local residents and people coming from different parts of the province are facing problems. The main hospitals of the city have only 6,500 beds and 250 ventilaters in total, as well as a continuous lack of doctors and medical staff, due to which local patients are having trouble handling.
Former Karachi Health Director Ikram Sultan said that there is no necessary medical facilities in the district hospitals of Sindh, due to which the patients are not getting adequate treatment. In such a situation, they are forced to go to Karacha Hospitals. In his talk, Ikram Sultan said, “Jinnah Hospital has seen huge crowds of patients not only from Karachi but also from nearby cities. The number of beds has been stable for decades and there is a huge shortage of employees in these hospitals. The government should ensure the appointment of experts in district hospitals and should provide secondary care services there. Then Jinnah and Civil Hospital can be reduced there.
There is no expert in Pakistan’s hospitals
Talking about the district hospitals of Karachi, at this time 60 percent of the beds are filled with patients. This hospital provides basic health related service to the people, but they do not have experts like paramedical and nursing staff as well as experts such as anesthesiologists, nephrologists and pulmonologists. In such a situation, patients have to leave for a big city. The number of patients in major hospitals in Pakistan is quite high. Every day 2 thousand patients visit the Emergency Deport of Civil Hospital. 8,000 people get treatment daily in OPD. 200 patients are admitted every day.
