According to Dr.Asif Zaman, the shortage of medicine is no longer a concern. A 6 months worth of stock has been acquired and medicines are being provided to patients. Dr. Zaman, who serves as the superintendent at the Sindh Government Hospital New Karachi, has confirmed that the medicines are being provided to patients in the emergency departments, OPD, and regular wards. More than 2000 patients visit the OPD on a daily basis, while around 200 patients are admitted to the emergency department. Strict orders have been issued to prevent doctors from prescribing medication that will have to be bought from private pharmacies. Any doctor that fails to comply with these directives will be held accountable.
