While in the company of Dr. Shuja cousin of the world renowned artist late Gul Jee and friend of my father that I received this sad text and picture from s concerned US based Pakistani requesting me to bring it into the notice of the relevant authorities.
“These photos taken at 1015 on Wednesday 2 November , 2022, show the heaps of garbage at back of MRI block in the historic Lady Reading Hospital of Peshawar .”
These photographs speak for themselves but the irony is that we both the people and its public institutions remain ownerless, from where everyone wants to benefit, but none are there to serve them that result into their systematic transformation into a heap of garbage and flowing sewage , posing serious public health hazards, given the serious and resistant strains of viruses that we as a nation continue to ignore unless we are suddenly exposed to its devastation killing the Pakistani Citizens by thousands.
The Honourable Lady Reading, who founded this historic institution as a result from fall from a horse and unavailability of medical treatment that pricked her conscience she compaigned to build this hospital not realising the ungrateful people who would benefit from it will one day turn it into a heap of garbage. Even if clowns are led into the palace all they could do is turn it into a circus and the Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar today is its classic example of administrative mismanagement. . God Help Pakistan Not In Safe Hands.
