Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif showed up without warning at Pakpattan hospital. She walked through the wards and heard angry patients complain about terrible care. Families told her they had to buy medicines from outside shops even though the hospital had plenty stored away. Hospital bosses tried to hide the truth from her. She discovered staff members were working with outside pharmacies to make extra money.
The Chief Minister got really mad about the mess she found. She ordered police to arrest the top health officer and hospital chief for doing a bad job. A new hospital boss from Sahiwal will take over the place. She also had parking workers arrested for charging patients too much money. Three lab workers got fired for cheating with private labs.
Maryam Nawaz found that government spent billions on free medicines but patients still had to buy them. Air conditioners worked in office rooms but not where sick people stayed. She told officials they had one week to fix everything or face serious trouble. The Chief Minister said doctors and nurses cannot use phones during work hours. She wants emergency systems set up right away to help save lives.
