PTI leaders demand audit of Sindh's virus fund.

KARACHI -- Expressing concern over the plight of hospitals in Sindh, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Karachi President Khurram Sher Zaman said on Monday that the party would not relent until state of hospitals in the province improved.

Addressing a press conference, he added that billions of rupees were being given to hospitals. 'So far two and a half billion rupees have been spent in the name of coronovirus pandemic. But unfortunately, there are no facilities in these hospitals which could show that the money was well spent,' he regretted.

Party's Karachi Spokesperson Jamal Siddiqui, Members of Sindh Assembly Dr Seema Zia, Shehzad Qureshi, Dr Imran Ali Shah, Rabistan Khan, PTI leader Capt (r) Rizwan Khan, Imran Siddiqui, Gohar Khattak, Fiza Zeeshan, Tehmina Khattak, Iram Butt and others were also present on the occasion.

MPA Khurram Sher Zaman demanded the audit of Rs2.5 billion handed to the Sindh government for the treatment of coronavirus patients. 'There are no ventilators in Sindh. People are worried because of the closure of OPDs,' he lamented.

PTI legislator said that he had a meeting with private hospital owners on Sunday. 'We demand immediate opening of the OPDs,' he added.

He expressed surprise that a provincial education minister Saeed Ghani, who was not authorized to speak on health matters, was issuing statements on corona.

He criticised the PPP government for not being able to arrange vaccine for the victims of dog bite. 'Nobody knows what happened to a huge amount of money allocated for arranging a vaccine,' Zaman added.
