Largest hospital in Balochistan turns into sewerage pool

Bolan Medical Complex, the largest public sector hospital of Balochistan has not only been lacking clean water since the past three days but is also the chaos brought upon by sewerage water entering the main premises of the hospital and wards. Heaps of garbage, overflowing gutters and lack of other facilities have turned the hospital into a hub of problems and miseries.The hospital’s toilets were too filthy for anyone to be able to use them. A medicine budget of Rs.130 million has been allocated annually for the Bolan Medical Complex but mismanagement has caused this hospital to face dire circumstances. The patients and their relatives are purchasing water from outside and while in the hospital, they remain vulnerable to any diseases that could be brought upon by the polluted water in the premises. Currently more than a 1,000 patients are in the hospital for treatment.
