UNHYGIENIC HOSPITAL: The Civil Hospital in Dadu is in an urgent need of some sort of a cleanliness drive. The hospital’s unhygienic rooms, filthy washrooms, and piles of trash all aorund are contributing to health problems rather than keeping them under control. Despite being an autonomous body with a substantial budget, the hospital has shifted cleanliness duties to the local municipal authorities. This controversy between the two government institutions has exacerbated health issues in the community. The authorities must take measures to address this pressing issue.
