Hospitals in Pakistan

Health is every human being’s right and yet there is a denial of this right to millions of Pakistanis which are caught in the vicious circle of poverty, taxes and illness. There has been a growing dissatisfaction with the existing health services and demand for better health care in most of Pakistan’s government hospitals.

The victims of poor medical care have to rely on Government hospitals.

These hospitals are overcrowded, short-

staffed and are provided less funds medicine and health

supplies.

Syringes and surgical equipment are

repeatedly used on different patients without proper

handling allowing further spread of

deadly viral infections among patients.

Worse still, medical waste is not disposed of properly and used medical equipment is

scavenged outside hospitals only to be

sold again.

People migrate largely from rural to urban areas for medical treatment which overcrowds the

hospitals and there is shortage of medicine.

In fact this practice has been reported to become an organized profitable business.

Fake medicines are prepared in many parts of Pakistan.

All human beings should get their rights, so everyone has a right to stay healthy.

We all should help these organizations to cure patients and provide medicines to them.

Every person should be health insured. All doctors should provide the health care using this insurance. Children up to the age of 18 should be provided free health care. Only government licensed doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies should be allowed to work. Any fraud in this regard should be liable to major punishment. Medical colleges and hospitals should be established.

MANY HOSPITALS IN PAKISTAN HAVE POOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND ARE IN BAD CONDITIONS. THE ENVIRONMENT IS UNHYGIENIC AND BAD FOR

PATIENTS. THE DOCTORS AND NURSES ARE NOT EXPERIENCED . THEY SHOULD BE WELL TRAINED.

THE EQUIPMENTS AND TOOLS USED FOR OPERATING ARE NOT ADVANCED AND ARE OF POOR QUALITY.

THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PROVIDE GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THESE HOSPITALS AND

SHOULD AID OR DONATE THEM.
