Jinnah hospital administration is facing an acute shortage of paramedical staff, nurses, and faculty members. Although the Sindh Health Department has provided medical officers and Jinnah Sindh Medical University has assigned faculty, delays in appointments have left several issues unresolved.
Due to the lack of facilities in the government hospital, patients undergoing treatment are being forced to purchase even essential medicines from private markets.
Speaking to ARY News programme Bakhabar Savera, Jinnah Hospital spokesperson Dr Waqas Khan said the hospital currently requires around 2,000 additional staff members to meet operational needs.
