GUJRANWALA: The doctors at District Headquarters Hospital Gujranwala put a patient for treatment on a bed that already had a body lying on it.
Noor Muhammad, a resident of Aminabad in Gujranwala, was taken to the hospital when he was having trouble breathing. However, a while later Noor succumbed to death. Noor’s body was not removed from the ward when another patient was brought in, who was placed on the same bed.
While commenting on the matter, the hospital administration said they were forced to do so because of shortage of beds at the facility.
