Four months and PIC is still to repair its angiography machine!
LAHORE - More than 4 months have passed since the problem with the function of an angiography machine was reported in Punjab Institute of Cardiology and still there is no progress in getting it repaired.
A report in informs that PIC has failed to set its non-functional angiography machine to work even after four months when the problem was reported. This problem with one of the five such machines at PIC is causing heart patients and their family great inconvenience.
The paper reports that the hospital receives about 70 to 80 patients daily who need an angiography test. A source with firsthand experience told the paper that the hospital’s administration is not interested in solving the problems of patients.
The interesting part of this management failure is the excuse of the hospital’s medical superintendent who says that “only one in five machines” was out of order and it required imported spare parts because these are imported machines. So it implies that the provincial government cannot import important machine parts while the ruling party’s chief flies to UK for treating angina while his party can distribute laptops worth billions among students, assuming this will lead to a better future for the nation.
