LARKANA:Panic created among the admitted poor patients when cement bars suddenly fell down over a child in the Urology Children Ward of the Chandka Medical College Hospital (CMCH) here on Thursday due to which he was injured. The patient was identified as 3-year Allah Bachayo Shaikh, resident of Izzat Ji Wand village located near Naundero.

 

The admitted patients came out of the ward after hearing the noise of the fallen cement bars under fear. The father of the affected child told newsmen that his minor son is suffering from the kidney stone hence he was diagnosed and then brought to the Urology Ward a week ago for treatment and removal of his stone where this incident has taken place due to the dilapidated and shabby condition of the Ward.

 

It must be mentioned here that five major operations were stopped by the then head of department over a year ago owing to the fact that their operation theaters were shifted from the existing building to the Dental department due to the dangerous condition of the building and on the commitment by the then medical superintendent that their building will be repaired and renovated soon but his promise remained hollow and he was transferred out of CMCH. The same building has not yet been repaired and renovated and the patients continue to be admitted and operated in the leftover operations theaters putting their lives at stake.
