Tea kettle was placed in the operation theatre of Khyber Teaching hospital. You cannot even arrange for cleanliness. Head of one board was Imran Khan’s cousin Nosherwa Barqi who lives in US all the time.” “The trauma centre of Lady Reading Hospital was not even functional whereas in Larkana a child was taken to four different hospitals but the facility of trauma centre was not available in any of them,” he resented. “Rawalpindi’s cardiac centre is a government hospital but working efficiently. We will not leave this issue until betterment prevails in health department,” said the CJP. The haring of the case was adjourned till indefinite period. INP/LK/AJ[/timed-content-server]
