ICU at Sindh Government Hospital Liaquatabad Inactive for 20 Months Despite 300 Billion Health Budget

The ICU of Sindh Government Hospital in Liaquatabad, Karachi, established under the NDMA during the COVID-19 pandemic on December 27, 2020, with 22 beds, 16 ventilators, 5 monitors, and 16 BiPAP and CPAP machines, has been inactive for about 20 months due to a lack of operational capacity.
