Tehsil and District Headquarters Hospitals are backbone of state-run healthcare infrastructure, but lack of doctors and nurses, patients’ dissatisfaction about the services and attitude of hospital staff, poor infrastructure and sanitation at some hospitals warrant prompt government interventions to put the public sector healthcare system back on track, said a report compiled by Fafen’s Health Institution Monitor.
Fafen’s Governance Monitors visited 107 hospitals (61 DHQs and 46 THQs) in 81 districts and two Fata agencies across Pakistan during June 2010. Monitored facilities included 44 hospitals in 31 districts of Punjab (19 THQs and 25 DHQs), 23 hospitals in 20 districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (9 THQs and 14 DHQs), 8 hospitals in similar number of districts of Balochistan (seven DHQs and one THQ), 30 hospitals in 21 districts of Sindh (14 DHQs and 16 THQs) and two hospitals in two Fata agencies (one DHQ and THQ each).
