Accommodations for patients’ attendants  

Letter September 18, 2018
In Karachi, we see large numbers of patients’ attendants outside major public hospitals

KARACHI: In Karachi, we see large numbers of patients’ attendants outside major public hospitals lying under the open sky in all seasons. This situation has been existing for long, but neither the government nor any philanthropic organisations are paying attention to build inexpensive accommodations for attendants of patients who are brought from villages and small towns for treatment to Karachi. There should be cheap accommodations for such people. The charges should be nominal.
