\u201cDuring my visits to government hospitals right from Karachi to Sehwan and up to Sukkur found them a total mess where male and female patients were kept without segregation into the Emergency Wards and most of the staff members were absent when checked the attendance registers,\u201d he said and added the patients were receiving medicines from the hospitals\u2019 pharmacies.<\/p>\n

Justice Baqar said that the provincial government has allocated a handsome amount of Rs234.29 billion for the Health depart for the year 2023-24, out of which Rs53.17 billion has been earmarked for operational expenditures. \u201cAre we using the budget in the public interest properly by repairing and maintaining the equipment,\u201d he questioned and deplored that the ambulances were not working, the operation theatres had been neglected, medicines were not given to the patients and the patients were being referred to private Labs instead of conducting their tests indoor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister expressed his displeasure that the health department despite his clear instructions the health department\u2019s officers were not conducting inspections of the health facilities. \u201cYou have DG health, Directors, DHOs and even the directorate of inspection but even then no inspection has been made so far,\u201d he told the secretary health.
