Three people lost their lives due to the suspected drug reaction that pushed the death toll to 109 on Saturday.
The uncontrolled deadly reaction was caused by cardiac medicines provided to patients in Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) some three weeks ago, claiming 109 lives and destabilising health of hundreds of patients.
By taking preventive measures, the institution is now providing alternate medicines to heart patients registered with the hospital.
Patients were seen standing in long queues for hours to return old contaminated drugs and get new ones from the PIC.
There are at least 400 patients under treatment in various hospitals of Lahore out of which 50 are in serious condition.

  5. Common citizens are aghast at all this. More perturbing is this bitter truth that it all has happened under the rule of Shabaz Sharif, Chief Minister of Punjab, who unluckily also happens to be Health Minister, who’s always seen at least in front of the cameras making tall claims of doing everything for people. Now when so many valuable lives have been lost, purely, due to criminal negligence of our bragger Chief Minister; it would have been better had he himself taken the responsibility and resigned immediately when even a single case of death was reported like it always happens in civilized democratic world. But since like an adamant seaborne ruler he is not and looks hell bent on sticking to power; even if entire system collapse, the Supreme Court must move in – if it can find out time from its most passionate pass time of wasting time in issues like memo gate- and judicially advise him to step aside and let someone else who could genuinely take better care of poor people and do not simply brags, take the charge.

    People in Punjab have had enough of him. He’s become now a liability rather than delivering Governance. Punjab, which once was a prosperous and was thriving, under Shabaz Sharif has become a ruined with nothing has been left intact thanks to his “one Man’s Dictator Governance Style” in here. Health, education law and order everything presenting a sorry state of affairs. And there seems no end to people’s misrie.
