Express News screen grab of the hospital.

LAHORE: Operation theatres in the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) in Lahore shut down on Friday because of hygiene concerns, Express News reported.

The PIC was inspected previously in March and management was told by the authorities to clean their operation theatres as they reportedly were teeming with bacteria and germs.

The hospital’s own pathology department conducted tests on the operation theatre tables and instruments and discovered on April 21 (when the results came out) that most of the hospital supplies were contaminated.

PIC has been given a deadline of May 6 (Tuesday) to have the hospital cleaned. Till then, the operation theatres will be shut, and no surgeries will be conducted.

@TrueKarachiwala Say what will you about the sharifs but if they see a problem they see a problem they fix it... The institutions own pathology dept found it to be not of the same standards... with all the nepotism that goes on in karachi i wouldnt even expect this... In lahore you can roam the streets night and day and still come back home with your wallet and phone... So its not perfect but its a lot better than the governance your city shows us
