HYDERABAD: One thing that is lost sight of in recent July 22 Akbari mosque transformer tragedy is ad-hoc management of entire burns ward by untrained staff in Liaquat University Hospital (LUH) of Hyderabad.
The ward’s doctors and staff hardly manage burn patients with 20pc or above burn wounds. And that was why patients with over 25pc burn wounds of total body surface area (TBSA) are instantly advised to leave for Karachi.
Information obtained by Dawn revealed that all critically injured were referred to Karachi in the recent two tragedies in which two children and a young man died as a result of June 18 fire in a transformer in Islamabad Mohalla and then seven persons, including two children, breathed their last in Karachi after July 22 Akbari mosque transformer blast.
