The death of seven patients due to a shortage of oxygen cylinders at the Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH), one of the top hospitals in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, sent shock waves not only across Pakistan but also all over the world. Heart rending scenes were observed when the news of oxygen shortage reached the relatives and attendants who ran amok begging the administration to manage the oxygen supply, but to no avail. Had these patients been VIPs or related to some influential person, the hospital administration would not have been so callous in managing the situation. But alas, those who died as they could not breathe happened to be the children of a lesser god.
