While the authorities have been remiss in transferring the operational locus of the Chest Disease Hospital to Sonwar, patients persist in enduring myriad tribulations, especially within the precincts of the facility’s emergency sector. Owing to the deluge of patients, predicaments have also surfaced in the OPD domain, characterized by confined space and scarce facilities to accommodate them expeditiously. The government has already relinquished the edifice of the Children’s Hospital, Sonwar, to the Chest Disease Hospital authorities after its relocation to the newly erected Paediatric Hospital at Bemina. It is imperative to underscore that the extant edifice of the CD Hospital is conspicuously deficient in essential amenities, failing to meet the contemporary infrastructure standards expected of hospitals, a predicament exacerbated by multifarious factors. Chief among these challenges is the palpable constraint of space, a fundamental impediment that, compounded by the escalating influx of patients in the OPD and other precincts of the hospital, renders the provision of adequate space for patients a near-impossible feat. The resultant consequence is the conspicuous absence of rudimentary facilities, precipitating unprecedented hardships for the afflicted.
The relinquished premises of the former Children’s Hospital, ostensibly availed for utilisation by the CD Hospital, confront the authorities with their array of inadequacies across various parameters, further compounding the protracted delay in effecting the shift. In this exigent scenario, comprehensive scrutiny and appraisal of the existing infrastructure about the exigencies of modern hospital standards are imperative. A meticulous report delineating the existing shortcomings and requisites must be expeditiously presented to higher authorities, soliciting their discerning attention and requisite intervention. It is manifestly futile to acquire edifices if their utilization is constrained by inadequacies, compelling the imperative need for a cogent resolution to alleviate the poignant travails of the patients. In the realm of patient care, where the sanctity of well-being is paramount, any compromise is unequivocally untenable. Thus, a pragmatic resolution must be diligently sought, acknowledging the urgency of the situation and the imperative to rectify the prevailing predicaments.
