PESHAWAR:
The Provincial Doctors Association (PDA) has demanded of the government and Health Department to allocate a separate hospital for the Covid-19 patients with its own staff in order to properly handle the emergency.
Talking to The Express Tribune Dr Abdul Wadud Khan, Dr Mudasar Afridi and Dr Attiqur Rehman said that the government has decided to allocate a separate building at Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) to Covid-19 patients which means that other patients will be suffering at the expense of Covid-19 patients.
“Now only two hospitals will have to deal with all the patients coming from out-districts and it will result in restricted resources at these two hospitals and their staff will also be overburdened,” he said.
