Woman dies ‘unattended’ on hospital floor in Lahore - Moonis Elahi Blames PMLN Bad Governance




PMLN, especially CM Mian Shahbaz Sharif is in power in Punjab for the last 9 years. While he enjoys the facilities of being a ruler of Punjab, the people who voted for him suffer miserably. A woman, named Zahra Bibi, 60 years old died today on the floor of Jinnah Hospital as she was unattended for the last 3 hours. She was laid out on the floor of the Medical Unit I because there was no vacant bed inside. Moonis Elahi lashed out on PMLN's poor governance saying the incumbent government was unable to provide treatment facilities to its own voters.

The woman was brought in from Kasur to Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) complaining of chest pain and the doctors diagnosed her of kidney pains. She was referred to the Services Hospital where doctors examined her and asked her male attendant to take her to Jinnah Hospital as they lacked the facilities needed for her treatment. Upon arrival at the Jinnah Hospital she was checked in the emergency and was admitted in the Medical Unit I. But since there was no bed available she was asked to lay outside here to breathed her last. Moonis Elahi expressed grief and sorrow over the misery of the woman she had to endure. 

While Shahbaz Sharif is busy constructing roads, metro projects and failed power projects for billions of rupees, there is no plan in action over medical uplifting in Punjab. It seems Shahbaz Sharif thinks people as vehicles who only need roads to run on and as vehicles don't get repaired in hospitals, there is no need to spend any money on hospitals. MoonisElahi said during their time, Emergency Departments in hospitals all over Punjab were formed and they ensured all medications were free in them irrespective of how much it cost. They had also built new Cardiology hospitals in Multan, Faisalabad and Wazirabad. 

Moonis Elahi said while they were also building roads and providing transportation facilities to the people, PMLQ had not ruled out health sector from their agenda as the PMLNhas done. As they rush to the UK to get treated, they have no concern over the plight of hospitals in Punjab. Every hospital in Punjab is in ruins and there are no uplifting plans or expansion plans as the population is increasing rapidly. Shortage of hospitals is leading to shortage of beds in the already operational hospitals. PMLN must build new hospitals equipped with modern technology to treat the patients in time of their arrival.
