The relatives of patients admitted to Peshawar's Lady Reading Hospital's (LRH) coronavirus complex will now be able to communicate with each other through video call.

In a statement issued by the hospital's spokesperson, the hospital has introduced this facility to help families communicate with patients.

In addition, a separate counselling room has also been established, through which families can interact with hospital staff deputed at the Covid-19 ward. "The video call facility will help get rid of misconceptions about hospital staff and will help uplift patients' mental health," the statement read.
