So far 16 people have died and 2 are still critical, citizens extremely unhappy about arrangements

FAISALABAD: (Dunya News) – Owing to chicken pox virus, 16 people have till Tuesday died and 84 are still under treatment. Two of these 84 are critical, reported Dunya News.

So far in 2017, 16 people have died of chicken pox virus while 84 people are under treatment at Allied Hospital in Faisalabad. 

The worst part is that the hospital administration is vaccinating the staff members but they claim to have no vaccine available for the patients.

The level of insensitivity can gauged from the fact that after the loss of 16 lives, Health Department official said yesterday that a few people dying was no big deal.

The citizens expressed anger over the statement and demanded immediate arrangements to fight the situation.

Meanwhile, the five-member committee formed to curb chicken pox virus hasn’t yet shared any reports either.
