The Sindh health department formed on Thursday a three-member committee to ensure uninterrupted supply of oxygen to hospitals in Karachi, after it emerged that the supply was being affected as sit-ins over Machh killings and road blocks continued for the third day - with protesters’ demands remaining unaddressed - in the port city
The management of Dr Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital told The Express Tribune that the management of the Pakistan Oxygen Supply Company, which supplies oxygen to health facilities in Karachi, had informed them that its trucks couldn’t reach the hospital due to blocked arteries.
