Khuzdar hospital facing severe medicine shortage
Medical Superintendent Dr Arbab Kamran Kasi said, “We were facing a shortage of medicines, but now 70% medicines are available. The regular doctors performing their duties in the emergency ward had to face upsetting the patients due to lack of medicines, which is happening no more.
“We try to provide medicines to patients from the hospital. Instead of shifting patients to wards, we have added 40 to 50 more beds to the emergency ward where after being provided better treatment the patients are discharged. This step has eased the pressure on other wards.”
