"Patients are coming from far-flung areas for treatment."If Hospital has been converted into MCH then here should be adequate relevant staff and facilities for," said an attendant Gulzar Ahmad.

 

Locals told KNS that Govt should depute few pediatricians to the hospital at earliest so that new born babies will not suffer.
