Poor medical services in HMC Peshawar

Provision of quality medical services in state run government hospital is still a dream and no one knows when it will be a reality. Today I was in Neurosurgery ward HMC to enquire about the health of my relative admitted in the hospital. In the evening after Maghrib prayer a kid of about 3 years age was brought to the ward in a very critical condition having head injury and internal bleeding. There was only one TMO in the ward on duty, who tried to provide emergency treatment to the struggling kid, I was watching this little angel full of grief for his sufferings and was constantly praying for his life. The hospital was having no ventilator to help this little angel breath, No senior doctor, consultant to check the condition of the kid, no other necessary equipments for emergency treatment. The condition of the kid was very critical and was shifted to RMI for quality treatment due to lack of basic medical equipment at HMC. Still I am thinking about that kid, May Allah grant him with success and recovery.
