Heavy rainfall has created a very difficult situation at Hafizabad District Headquarters Hospital. The downpour caused rainwater to enter the building, flooding wards, consultancy rooms, and even the main hallways. This sudden flooding has made it extremely hard for both patients and doctors to continue medical services.
Patients lying in the wards were directly affected as water surrounded their beds. Doctors and staff also faced serious challenges in moving around the hospital and providing treatment.
The standing water has not only disturbed healthcare services but has also created unsafe and unhygienic conditions inside the hospital, raising fears of further health risks.
Such incidents highlight the poor state of drainage systems and the lack of proper emergency management in many healthcare facilities. Hospitals are expected to be safe and reliable places, especially during the monsoon season, but the situation in Hafizabad shows that improvements are urgently needed.
Health experts and citizens have expressed concerns that if immediate measures are not taken, patients may face even greater risks. They have urged the authorities to take quick action to restore medical services, remove the water, and ensure that such incidents are not repeated in the future.
The flooding has also raised questions about hospital infrastructure and preparedness for natural challenges like heavy rains. It is a reminder that healthcare systems must be well-equipped to handle emergencies, as lives depend on them. Restoring safety and proper medical facilities should now be the top priority for the authorities.
