Medicine supply to Balochistan's only cancer hospital halted
Quetta: Medicine supply to CENAR Cancer Hospital in Balochistan’s Quetta has been stopped by the Pak administration for the last two months.
This is the only cancer hospital in Balochistan.
According to reports, the supply of medicines under the Balochistan Endowment Fund (BEF) to the only cancer hospital in Balochistan has been stopped due to the financial crisis in Pakistan.
Feroz Khan Achakzai, a senior doctor of the CENAR hospital, told media that more than a hundred cancer patients come to the hospital and return home with the frustration of not getting medicines.
He said that currently, more than 2,000 cancer patients are 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, Pak health department officials have refused to talk to the media in this regard. Doctors and patients have no clue about the non-supply of medicines.
