KHARANA (Pajhwok): Director public health said on Monday that beds facility at the civil hospital in southeastern Paktika province needed to be surged to 200-bed in the wake of growing number of patients.

Wali Gul told Afghan Pajhwok News the civil hospital had 60-bed facility for patients which did not serve the patients well.

He demanded the government increase the number of beds to 200 instead. Patients of Ghazni were also visiting the civil hospital in Sharan, the provincial capital. 

“The 60-bed hospital is not enough even for one district therefore it should be extended to 200 to serve the patients,” he said.

Local residents complained patients were facing with unspeakable problems after visiting hospital for treatment. The province has 35 health facilities in Khair Kot and Orgun districts.

Haji Saidullah, a senior health official, the central hospital was needed to be upgraded. “The civil hospitals serve both military and civilians while the hospital has small capacity for large number of patients,” he argued, demanding the government to enhance the beds of the medical facility.

Dr. Chinar, the director of the civil hospital, said the facility had all requirements of 200-bed hospitals. “Paktika has around one million population and we do not have equipped clinics in districts. There is heavy load of patients on this hospital. It is hard to treat patients in such a congested environment,” he added.
