reported from two major public hospitals in the city.
The shortages have been reported from Quetta Civil Hospital and Bolan Medical Complex (BMC).
Despite repeated governmental promises, these facilities are struggling to meet basic medical needs, especially in their emergency departments, where essential drugs and even basic supplies like bandages have become scarce, reported The Balochistan Post.
Patients are forced to buy crucial medical supplies like syringes from private pharmacies due to the unavailability of resources in public hospitals.
A significant portion of the already limited stock of medicines is being diverted to the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) and is allegedly being sold on the black market, fueling a man-made shortage, the news portal reported.
