PESHAWAR: After the recent incident involving the deaths of seven patients due to the shortage of oxygen at the Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) in the provincial capital, the non-availability of oxygen at the King Abdullah Hospital in Mansehra was raised in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on Friday.
On a point of order, Naeema Kishwar of Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) said patients were shifted to hospitals in Abbottabad due to non-availability of oxygen at the King Abdullah Teaching Hospital in Mansehra.
She said it was a serious issue that hospitals were facing shortage of oxygen at a time when coronavirus cases were on the rise. She said action should be taken against the ones responsible for the shortage of oxygen.
