Senior doctor dies of corona in pakistan

[aryadravida]

A senior doctor at Peshawar's Hayatabad Medical Complex passed away from Covid-19 early on Saturday morning, the hospital's director Shehzad Faisal confirmed.

Dr Mohammad Javed was an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist and had been working inside the Covid-19 ward of the hospital. "He was on the front lines to combat the coronavirus," Faisal said.

The hospital director added that Dr Javed had tested positive for the coronavirus a week ago and was on a ventilator. He is the first doctor in the province to die of the virus.

"More than a dozen doctors in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have tested positive for the coronavirus," the director said.

Spokesman for the KP government Ajmal Wazir expressed sorrow over the doctor's death. While paying tribute to doctors, he said that they were "putting their lives at risk to save the nation from coronavirus".

'Over 50 medics infected in KP'
Meanwhile, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Provincial Doctors Association has strongly recommended a complete lockdown in the province and separate hospitals at divisional level for those infected to contain the spread of the virus and manage active patients effectively.

Dr Amir Taj Khan, president of the provincial doctor's association, demanded a complete lockdown to enable people to stay home and enforce social distancing or else he warned the health system would collapse and all health workers would end up infected, leaving patients in lurch.

“More than 50 health workers, including 20 doctors, have tested positive for Covid-19 because of the arrival of all patients to hospitals. It would be most appropriate to have separate wards for suspected and active patients as well as quarantine centres away from the hospitals, not only to ensure their best management but to safeguard our people and health professionals from being infected,” Dr Khan said.

only doctors below 40 should be exposed to corona patients....why send doctors who are above 50 to corona wards and take risk?they can be used to give suggestions and guidance.

The 'Thanks' is for this doctor unwavering support and his adherence to call of duty and his ultimate sacrifice of his life for others, the noblest of cause.

This is the third instance of the death of a doctor by Coronavirus. Rest in peace...

The other doctor died in GB, Pakistan was under 30. It is like more exposure results in 2nd and 3rd and 4th attack more severe and with a stronger strain of virus.

that too without enough PPE. it is just like sending soldiers to the battle ground empty handed. i was reading some comments that punjab government is providing PPE to all the staff working in corona wards only. the administration in this country in every field has always been senseless. so is the medical admininstration . the doctor working in the corona wards are less likely to get infected as they have all the PPE but those who are working in other departments and screening of patients are not given enough PPE and as many of corona patients are asymptomatic and many patients tend to hide their symptoms so the doctors and paramedics working in other departments and screening are more velunerable but who cares in pakistan. we are asking Allah for forgiveness and the moment the things improve we will get back to usuall munafiqat and corruption in every field. we are stone hearted people.

Read this one out:

When you make someone a hero, and you expect them to lay their lives without question. During WWII, the USSR made all their population above the age of 15 "Heroes". They were sent to the Eastern border with a single bottle of water and only 5 bullets. They were expected to pick up a rifle from their fallen brethren, and use those 5 bullets wisely. Needless to say, millions of young men died without even knowing who they were fighting for and who they were fighting against.

The doctors and nurses are being forced to work in unsafe conditions. The young doctor in Gilgit Baltistan named Usman (if I remember) , was forced to test hundreds of Zaireen coming from Iran without even a surgical mask. He died due to a huge "Viral load" and his lungs and heart failed within days.

Don't expect the doctors to be your saviors in all conditions. They are not like angels appointed over you, who protect you under all circumstances; they are people like you. So respect them, provide them with kits and give them their fukcing salaries. ( For Punjab government, the first knee-jerk reaction to the pandemic was to withhold the salaries of the doctors).

If the pandemic is to go out of control in the future, with lacks of cases in Pakistan, you will be tending to your dying parents and children at home rather than any hospitals.

the worst thing for doctors and paramedics is that they are not only facing death at their place of duty but they can bring the disease back to their homes and infect their familiies as well. their entire family is in danger. at least soldiers dont bring death back to their homes with them.

Sad news, May Allah (swt) bless him with Jannah and give patience to his family.

 

[V. Makarov]

The Mughals even managed to do that.

 

[BATMAN]

There's no transparency in COVID aid received from foreign states.
No record, where are the PPE and testing kits.
What actually might be going on, is every one's imagination.

 

[Skull and Bones]

I hope governments provides every doctor and healthcare workers with effective PPEs.
