The Medicine supply to Balochistan’s only cancer hospital has been stopped for the last two months.
According to reports, the supply of medicines under the Balochistan Endowment Fund (BEF) to the only cancer hospital in Balochistan has been stopped.
More than a hundred cancer come to the hospital and return home with the frustration of not getting medicines, Dr. Feroz Khan Achakzai, a senior doctor of the CENAR hospital told the media. “We are registering more than 8000 new cancer patients every year”, Dr. Achakzai informed. He said that currently, more than 2,000 cancer patients were under treatment at the Bolan Medical Complex Hospital and the CENAR hospital.
The cancer disease continues to spread in Balochistan and it has claimed scores of human lives during the last few years.
In CENAR hospital, most of the patients belong to the downtrodden class since middle-class and elite-class people go to Karachi or the Shaukat Khanum memorial hospital in Lahore for medical treatment.
Meanwhile, health officials have refused to talk to the media in this regard. Doctors and patients have no clue about the non-supply of medicines.
