Fear of severe medicine shortage at PIMS Hospital in Islamabad
Islamabad's largest public hospital, the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), is currently facing severe difficulties in the supply of medicines. The hospital administration fears that due to a lack of timely procurement, patients may face a shortage of essential medicines.
According to reports, the hospital's stock is depleting due to delays in the medicine procurement process. This situation could affect thousands of patients visiting the hospital, most of whom belong to poor and middle-class backgrounds.
Hospital sources state that if the medicine supply process is not restored soon, problems could also arise in the emergency department and operation theaters. The patients' relatives have demanded that the government take immediate notice of this matter so that medical facilities at the hospital are not compromised.
Currently, efforts are underway by the hospital administration to resolve this crisis. Officials say they are in contact with suppliers to ensure the supply of medicines as soon as possible so that patients do not have to face any inconvenience.
