Services Hospital, one of the prestigious hospitals in the province is facing an acute shortage of medicines, the 24NewsHd TV channel reported on Monday.
According to sources, the patients admitted to medical and surgical units are forced to buy drugs from the market as the hospital runs short of medicines including antibiotics and surgical items.
They said due to the non-availability of surgical disposables, patients are forced to purchase their own for surgical procedures.
They alleged that despite the purchase of medicines, patients are deprived of free medicines. “Doctors are forced to not perform surgeries due to the shortage of drugs and medical equipment,” they added.
The attendants said the ongoing economic crisis in the country has badly hit the healthcare system where patients have been struggling for essential medicines.
They appealed to the authorities to pay special attention to the hapless patients.
