Later, after the student’s nose kept running, his family immediately took him to Khairpur’s Civil Hospital for treatment.

Because of the lack of medical facilities, the present Health officials at the hospital instructed the family to shift him to Karachi. As soon as the family was about to leave for Karachi, the medical staff at the Civil Hospital called them back and put the affected in quarantine.

”They put him in a dengue ward!”

On the matter, the brother, Irshad Ali stated, ”We were on our way to Karachi when they [hospital] told us to come back to the Civil Hospital [Khairpur]. There, they put him [Shahzaib] in a dengue ward. [The minister] wanted the patient [Shahzaib] to remain in isolation until his tests were completed. But there is no doctor and we are not being treated properly”.

Not only a bad treatment, but the hospital didn’t even provide the family or the patient with proper instructions or covering masks.

Looking over the increasing numbers, Pakistan is also now capable of diagnosing and treat coronavirus patients. The severe consequences have even led to the World Health Organization (WHO) which has declared the widespread virus ‘global health emergency’.
