It is difficult to meet patient demand for beds, medications, and medical services at Mayo Hospital, which is famous for having one of the biggest emergency medical wards in the nation. Patients who travel from outlying areas of Punjab for treatment in the ward face particular challenges in this regard.
Patients and their carers have complained that it is difficult to find beds that are available, ventilators, and basic medications due to the high demand for these items. Concerns have also been expressed regarding the inadequate security measures in place.
Unfortunately, there was a recent instance where an unidentified assailant killed a patient in the ward in front of doctors, nurses, and other patients after assaulting and beating the victim.
A hospital official claims that Mayo Hospital’s emergency room sees about 3,000 people per day, with the possibility for a significant increase in that amount during emergencies or natural disasters.
The main source of emergency medical care for citizens of nearby areas such Qila Gujjar Singh, Krishan Nagar, Islam Pura, Shahdara, Kareem Park, Garhi Shahu, and others is Mayo Hospital, which is close to the highly populated old city region.Serious and urgent cases are also forwarded to Mayo Hospital from nearby locations including Muridke, Gujranwala, Sheikhupura, Narowal, Kasur, and Kamokay.
The emergency room at Mayo Hospital is crucial in treating patients who have been injured in accidents, are afflicted by severe illnesses, or have been affected by disasters because it is a significant public hospital.
The Musafir Khana at Mayo Hospital serves as a temporary home for a sizable number of carers. However, a number of people have stated that they are unable to afford beds and drugs due to financial restrictions.
