DASKA - Govt Maternity Health Services Clinic Monday became inundated due to heavy rain, due to which the patients had to face a great ordeal.
The said clinic was established in a small-sized room, which was actually a residence of a local watchman. All the medical services are provided in this suffocated room even surgeries are also conducted here in unhygienic atmosphere.
The provincial government has established a new building of the Daska DHQ Civil Hospital by spending Rs150 million. But no fund was allocated to repair the crumbling building of this clinic.
The perturbed women urged the government to shift this clinic to any other place of the newly-constructed building of Daska Civil Hospital.
Daska Bar Association President M Asif Bajwa, Markazi Anjuman-e-Tajran President Sheikh Abid Hussain, Thinkers’ Forum President M Jamil Sethi, Patients’ Welfare Association Sialkot District President Zafar Malik and Sialkot Press Club Senior Vice Chairman Abid Hussain Mehdi have expressed grave concern over this situation.
They have urged Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Commissioner Gujranwala Division Saeed Wahla and Sialkot DCO Mujahid Sher Dil to look into the matter, in the larger public interest.
