4 children die at LRH due to shortage of oxygen

PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government claims to have taken revolutionary steps for the health sector of the province, but six innocent lives were lost because of the shortage of oxygen at KP’s largest infirmary, the Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) on Tuesday.

A nurse at the children emergency ward of the hospital, who spoke to Pakistan Today on the condition of anonymity, said that four children suffering from pneumonia lost their lives because of the shortage of oxygen at the ward.

Six-month-old Zakir Khan, a year old Hamza and Muhammad Obaid are among those who died in the A, B and C wards of the hospital, she added.

Child specialist at the LRH, Dr Wali told that they were receiving around 800 child patients of pneumonia from different areas of KP, adding that pneumonia patients need special care and a proper supply of oxygen, otherwise, the chances of survival are low.

He also said that owing to the extremely cold weather in the northern areas, this time of the year is when pneumonia cases, as well as chest infection cases among children, are at rise. The parents should take care of their children and cover them with warm clothes in this season to save them from pneumonia, he added.

When the LRH was contacted, the spokesperson denied any shortage of oxygen in the children ward of the hospital and said that all facilities were available to the patients.

According to a report by the World Health Organisation, pneumonia accounts for 16% of the total child deaths making it the leading killer of children less than five years of age globally.

The report further said that Pakistan is among the top five countries affected by pneumonia.

Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar on Thursday censured the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government over its failure to provide clean drinking water to citizens and the unsatisfactory progress made by it for the disposal of sewage and industrial waste.

In other words, PTI was incompetent to do anything in 5 years of their rule.

Its Called Gorilla Warfare. Implied where you found yourself encircled and overwhelmed by your opponents. PDF is exactly that place for PMLN supporters for over a decade.
Well they dont present a valid argument and are easily debunkable many just ran away or hide their affiliation they were always a minority here plus with pdf being a forum where Pakistani pov and interests are defended by its members (who are mainly young and educated city folks ) the odds were always against baboon leagis :D

Maybe it's a good idea to make a independent body with retired professionals who can check schools, hospitals, jails in our province's and give independent ratings. This way politicians can't make a fool out of the nation.
