Balochistan Cancer Hospital Pakistan: Money allotted for first cancer hospital in Balochistan spent somewhere else
Islamabad: The money, which was allotted for the first cancer hospital in Balochistan region of Pakistan, has been spent somewhere else, media reports said.
The government of Balochistan had reserved a big fund in the budget of 2006 for the first cancer hospital in the province but at the end of every year, the fund was used for some other purpose, reported Pakistan’s vernacular media, reports ANI.
Former Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan inaugurated the cancer section in Shaikh Zaid Hospital.
The building was reported completed but the defects present in its layout were not corrected.
Necessary machinery was never installed in the first cancer hospital because places were not available for installation of the machinery and the problem is not solved till now, reports ANI.
Due to delays in the installment of necessary medical equipment, people have to go to Karachi, Islamabad or Lahore for treatment which is very costly for poor people.
The Balochis urged the Pakistan government to complete the hospital and install machinery on a war footing and open the hospital to the public.
