Lahore, May 20, 2022 (PPI-OT): Chief Minister Punjab Hamza Shahbaz paid a surprise visit to DHQ Hospital Sargodha last night and enquired about the medical facilities of the patients in different wards. He also checked the CT scan report of a child patient namely Rehan, who was injured due to falling from the roof, and directed that he should not be discharged till the satisfaction of the attendants.

The CM stopped to console a crying woman and asked her about the problem. She complained that her mother had passed away as she had not been attended to for two hours. Hamza Shahbaz extended heartfelt sympathy to the woman.

‘I can’t bring her back but I will bring justice to you;’ he assured and prayed that may Allah grant patience to her. ‘It is my duty to give you justice which I would fulfil;’ he stated and directed to hold an inquiry for taking action against the negligent doctor. Provision of justice is my responsibility which would be fulfilled, he further said.

The death of the patient, due to alleged negligence of the doctor, is very sad and unbearable, said Hamza. The CM expressed his indignation over it and reprimanded the MS and the doctor-in-charge. Death is inevitable but doctors must try to save the patients, he emphasised. Every patient should be timely treated and patient-care should be the top priority of doctors and paramedics. Any negligence would not be tolerated, he warned.
