CIVIL Hospital in Turbat is the biggest hospital in the city where a number of patients every day come from remote areas for treatment. But, unfortunately, some of them return to their homes only because of lack of doctors in emergency.

Recently, one of my loved one lost his life owing to doctor’s absence. He died after some French fries stuck in his throat and he could not breathe. When the doctor was called, he said he would arrive after an hour.

I urge the Balochistan chief minister to at least ensure doctors are present in the government hospitals in the province.
