Abbasi hospital

Published September 10, 2019

APROPOS the news item ‘MTI Ordinance does not mean privatisation of public hospitals, says PM Imran’ (Sept 5). Recently my father was admitted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where no medicine was provided by the government. We purchased everything, including the gloves used by doctors.

The behaviour of the paramedical staff was terrible. While the doctors were good, we had to follow up with them for patient treatment.

Please implement this ordinance in Sindh if you can.
