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. According to Dr. Atiq Qureshi of Sindh Government Hospital, while the ICU is equipped with medical equipment, it has remained non-functional due to a shortage of personnel, forcing patients to be transferred to other hospitals like Jinnah Hospital or other facilities in emergencies.
