KARACHI – The newly-installed air-conditioners at Civil Hospital Karachi’s (CHK) emergency department have developed faults and hence not functioning properly.
According to sources, Edhi Foundation had donated six new air-conditioners to the CHK administration during the recent heatwave that gripped the city for more than a week and claimed hundreds of lives, but three of them are still not working.
They said that three of the total six air-conditioners installed by Edhi Foundation’s electricians in the CHK’s emergency department, had developed some fault, causing immense hardships to patients in the current hot and sultry weather.
CHK’s medical superintendent, Prof Saeed Qureshi, was not available for comment.
