Today I am gonna talk about the biggest and
serious topic. I am gonna talk about poor peoples who are facing lots of
problems in so called Government hospitals in Pakistan.
A government hospital is
a hospital which is owned by a government and receives government funding. This
type of hospital provides medical care free of charge, the cost of which is
covered by the funding the hospital receives.
The poor patients that are the
major population of Pakistan are still facing problems for obtaining proper
facilities for their treatment. A hospital is a residential establishment which
provides short-term and long-term medical care consisting of observational,
diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative services for persons suffering or
suspected to be suffering from a disease or injury and for parturients. It may
or may not also provide services for ambulatory patients on an out-patient
basis
The victims of poor medical
care are those who have to rely on government hospitals, which are overcrowded,
short staffed and have meager funds to provide for medicines and health
supplies. Moreover, syringes and surgical equipment are repeatedly used on
different patients without adequate sterilization allowing further spread of
deadly viral infections among unsuspecting patients. Worse still, medical waste
is not disposed of properly and used medical equipment is scavenged outside
hospitals only to be sold again. In fact this practice has been reported to
become an organized profitable business. Many times the medical miracles in
Pakistan lie in the idea that some patients actually survive their hospital
stay. Sweepers, medical technicians, nurses and even physicians have been
reported to be absent for months at a time and have been referred as
"ghost workers.
Currently in Pakistan there are
lots of patients who are facing problems in government hospitals, The condition
of these hospitals are too bad. untidy environment makes people more sick. Government
hospitals who are supposed to provide best treatments for poor peoples. now do
not provide best treatments. The attitude of doctors with their patients, the
rigid behavior of staffs is unbearable.
I am writing this article
because this actually happened with me. I was only heard rumors about the
situations of government’s hospital but when I got there then I realized whatever
I heard was 100% true.
I went with my mom for her
checkup in a Government hospital Holly family. The Hospital was over crowded
the staff was extremely rigid with patients. I took my mom to a doctor and he
prescribed her some tests. then I took my mom to hospital laboratory and she
gave a blood sample. then they told us, u will get your reports after three
days. So after three days we got the report and I took the reports to doctor
and he told me that your mom has Hepatitis C. and I was shocked to hear that. Honestly
it was unbelievable for me. The doctor prescribed her medicines for Hepatitis
C. and after that I went back to my home. and I was really tensed about my mom.
i said to my mom do not start any medication for Hepatitis C. let me reconfirm
whether you have Hepatitis C or not. So i took my mom to a private laboratory
she again gave blood sample and they said u can get your reports at evening. At
evening I went to get my mom’s reports and you guys won’t believe my mom
reports were normal. she had no Hepatitis C. Believe me after that incident I
start hating government hospitals. if my mom would start medications then what
would happened? I don’t know how many poor people would have died because of
these careless government hospitals facilities.
There are lots of people who
cannot afford private hospitals. these private hospitals are too much
expensive. that’s why people move to government hospitals, but the treatment in
government hospital is not at all acceptable. I am 100% sure lots of people
would have died by now because of wrong treatments.
There are lots of experienced
doctors in government hospitals but they do not pay attention to their patients
as they pay attention in their private clinics. These doctors only provide best
treatment in their private clinics. I have seen with my own eyes that there
were lots of doctors who were very rigid with their patients. There were patients
who wait for their turn to go to doctor for checkup. but their turns do not
come because of limited timing in government hospitals. The patients who left
unchecked have to go back to home and then at second day they need to come back
again for their checkup.
If someone has reference in
government hospital then they can easily go to doctor without waiting for their
turns. but think about those peoples who do not have references? Without
references they have to wait for their turn for long times. Most important
thing I would like to share with you is that lots of doctors in hospitals do
not come on time.
All Government hospitals in
Pakistan have same situation. I have been gone to holly family, poly clinic and
even pims hospitals. They all are not providing good treatments. One of my
friend’s brother who does job in poly clinic. He even said that if you want
best treatment then do not go to Government hospitals. They are sick. These
doctors are only getting salaries but not providing best treatments. They only
provide best treatments if you go to their private clinics. He said that there
are lots of doctors who do not come on time, and sometimes they do not come.
In last I would say that these
doctors should provide best and honest treatments to their patients. Why they
only provide best treatments in their private clinics? Why they do not provide
best treatments in Government hospitals? These doctors are getting salaries
from government then they should provide best and honest treatment to their patients.
They should not be rude with their patients.
I request to Pakistani
government to highly emphasize on these cases. The doctors in government
hospitals do not provide proper and honest treatments. Moreover they do not
come on time.
