A female heart patient died on Monday on Jinnah hospital's floor after the hospital administration was not able to find any bed for her. 60-year-old Zahra was the resident of Kasur and was brought to Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) but the doctors referred her to Services hospital.
She faced disappointment in the second hospital when the doctors once again referred her to Jinnah hospital due to non-availability of any bed.
The ill-fated woman then reached Jinnah hospital but was not able to find any bed there too after which she was laid on the floor with a drip attached to her.
However; she died shortly. Punjab Chief Minister (CM) while taking notice of the woman's death has summoned a report from the hospital administration.
Government hospitals in Pakistan usually lack facilities and equipment to treat patients. The number of patients surpasses the quantity of beds in the hospital as the people prevent to visit private sector for being heavy on the pocket.
A common man faces a hub of problems including inadequate health facilities and medical staff, worthless emergency service, poor security and low standard pediatric and gynecological wards.
