Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, July 22 (Azadi Times) – The Gynae ward of the DHQ Hospital in Mirpur has become a death trap due to negligence and incompetence of the staff.
Qaiser Ali Khan, a security guard at the Mirpur University, complained that his daughter was born at the hospital on the day of intense heat, but there was no fan available in the ward. He had to arrange for a stand fan from the house of a friend.
After the birth, the staff administered one after another dose of medication and protective injections. Qaiser Ali Khan told the staff not to give his daughter two injections at the same time, but they did not listen. As a result, his daughter developed an infection.
The staff put oxygen on the child and informed Qaiser Ali Khan of the emergency. However, there was no senior doctor or staff available in the ward at that time. All the staff were students.
Qaiser Ali Khan further stated that during this period, he bought medicines worth Rs. 35,000 from outside and gave them to the hospital staff so that his daughter could be treated. Before delivery, he had already arranged for medicines worth Rs. 15,000 to be provided to the staff.
When Qaiser Ali Khan became convinced that his daughter’s condition was not improving, he took her to a famous private hospital in Mirpur, where the relevant doctor provided excellent treatment. The child had jaundice and was kept in the private hospital for one day. She was brought home the next day and is now healthy.
Qaiser Ali Khan stated that the Gynae department of the government hospital in Mirpur has become a death trap. It has become a den of politics.
The staff is working, but there is no proper care being given. The people of Mirpur are suffering here. Inexperienced doctors have turned the Gynae ward into an experimental lab.
If the people of Mirpur do not unite and think about it, no child in the Gynae ward will be healthy.
