The egregious negligence of the administrative staff at Nishtar Hospital has exposed dialysis patients to the devastating risk of contracting HIV a revelation as shocking as it is alarming. This crisis demands immediate and decisive intervention from the highest levels of authority.
Reports indicate that one unsuspecting patient, who merely sought a routine dialysis procedure, was later diagnosed with AIDS. This tragic outcome highlights a flagrant breach of standard medical protocol, which mandates periodic testing for all incoming patients to detect and mitigate the risk of communicable or pre-existing conditions. The complete disregard for such measures has now facilitated the transmission of one of the most virulent and life-threatening diseases.

This debacle underscores a systemic collapse rooted in apathy and inefficiency, dragging us further into a vortex of preventable tragedies. Pakistan has historically prided itself on offering free healthcare to its citizens—a legacy of compassion and care. Yet, this incident raises a stark question: why must the ordinary citizen perpetually suffer under the weight of dysfunctional and unreliable systems?
From crumbling railway services to dismal intercity transportation networks, and now to healthcare mismanagement, it is always the most vulnerable who bear the heaviest burden. In the realm of public hospitals, these systemic flaws magnify the risks faced by those already in precarious circumstances.
To prevent further tragedies, we must urgently address these foundational failures. The establishment of rigorous accountability, unwavering adherence to medical protocols, and a renewed commitment to safeguarding public welfare are no longer optional—they are imperative.

Without such reforms, the fabric of trust in our institutions will continue to erode, leaving countless lives at risk.
We are often captivated by the allure of certain superficial initiatives—mere cosmetic fixes that, while deceptively appealing, serve as tools for garnering public approval and votes. However, this charade cannot persist indefinitely.
While a handful of commendable measures have been taken by the Punjab Chief Minister, it is imperative to address the persistent challenges that disrupt the lives of ordinary citizens daily. These problems, which emerge without warning, leave individuals feeling harassed and burdened, with no lasting solutions in sight.
True progress lies not in temporary displays of governance but in implementing sustainable reforms that genuinely alleviate the struggles of the common man.
