Government Hospitals of 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, shortstaffed 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 abandoned factories in many parts of Pakistan.
They fill wheat flour in empty capsules and colored chemical water in bottles, stamped with logos of noted multinational pharmaceuticals firms.
The death toll of patients not receiving proper treatment reached over
100.
Hospitals should thoroughly check the medicine quality and then distribute them in the patients.
Private Hospitals
These hospitals have a comfortable and hygienic
Environment.
Government Hospitals
These hospitals have to depend on funds from the government and have poor services like ambulances, medicine storage, comfortable beds, advanced technology or experienced staff.
Patients have to share beds because of shortage of beds and they feel uncomfortable with less space. This effects their treatment.
The
Dengue Fever has struck once again. Hundreds of people die every year because they do not get treated because of less doctors, operating tools and machines, beds, expensive treatment and medicines which have government taxes.
Many patients complain that they were catching infections due to the filthy condition of beds and lack of proper hospital hygiene.
Patients say,
“If they complain about the poor condition of the hospital they are threatened to be thrown out.”
Many Pakistani politicians, celebrities and citizens aid these hospitals and donate money for the treatment of poor patients.
Hospitals like SKMH treat patients free of cost.
Foreign companies provide Pakistani hospitals with advanced and new technology and train doctors.
There are many organizations such as
EDHI
ORGANIZATION or
SKMCH etc. which help cure patients from deadly diseases by collecting funds.
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.
