Wahi Pandhi hospital

Published February 2, 2018

WAHI Pandhi, with a population of more than 50,000 people, is a city in Dadu dristrict. It has a hospital which lacks facilities. The condition of the hospital is poor; it has a shortage of doctors, medicines and injections for dog or snake bite. Delivery cases are poorly handled.

Emergency cases are generally referred to Hyderabad and Karachi. For the poor it is almost next to impossible to go to these cities for treatment.

The government must look into it.
