I live in the uK, but a few months ago i volunteer to work in a government hospital in Pakistan, tbh. i was very impressed with our doctor's and dentists, they are very knowledgable, which in part is attributed to alot of the experience they gain in these government hospitals, sum of the patient cases and symptoms i saw we in the Uk only see pictures of in textbooks.
I was shocked however at the facilities and equipment and the lack of it, with regards to the number of patient coming to the hospital everyday. Most importanly the sterilisation and cross infection control was a complete sham, patients were cuming in and told me the that they had becum infected with hep B due to dirty instruments used by a previous dr. that had not been properly sterilised. This is totally unacceptable, and i saw this quite alot.
I did raise my concerns, howvever the sterilisation procedures were designated to untrained staff, the dr's seemed to have given up with the government hospitals, most of them worked privately as well. Dnt get me wrong they did do a gud job,compared to what we get to work with in the UK, those dr's were doing a great job considering the facilities they have
Even if more funds are pumped into the healthcare system it never seems to reach the actual people who are in need of it, sum1 or another lines their own pocket with it, and whoever i spoke all said exactly the same
It is a rather sad state of affairs
