SUKKUR: Health is not the top priority of our political elite and it’s reflected in the dismal state of health and the meagre allocation the sector gets every year. Corruption has been institutionalised in the health department and regulatory bodies are there to create problems for qualified doctors and patients.”
Eye opening survey conducted by Indus News.One revealed that expensive machines like a CT scanner and MRI machine in Civil hospital Sukkur lying unused after purchase, highlighting the disconnect between spending and actual utility.
Buying overpriced equipment from favored contractors through kickbacks siphons money away from essential services.
Reports claim a powerful network of private hospitals, contractors, and the “corruption system” are draining public funds.
The situation, had created a mafia in the name of medical professionals who were ready to sacrifice the dignity and sanctity of the profession for monetary gain. There were long queues of patients outside OPD of Civil hospital Sukkur but doctors usually remains absent from their seats.
We, as a society, nation and state have failed to provide fundamental healthcare facilities to our masses.
