F.P. Report

PESHAWAR: It has been reported that 12 doctors as well as some members of hospital medical staff in various Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Hospitals have contracted the coronavirus.

According to details, Peshawar is the worst-hit city in the province with seven doctors, including a private hospital doctor and nurse, having been infected. With rising number of patients in the province, the number of infected medical professionals is also increasing.

Several doctors and members of medical staff have contracted the virus while treating patients in Peshawar’s three main hospitals. Three doctors of Hayatabad Medical Complex have caught the coronavirus which has prompted the people to ask who will treat the patients if doctors themselves get infected.

According to Young doctors, so far 12 doctors, eight nurses and 1 paramedical staff member have tested positive for the virus. KP Health Minister Taimur Jhagra appeared to be uninformed about the number of doctors infected with the virus and said that anyone fighting against coronavirus on the frontline is at a huge risk.

On the other hand, KP Director Public Health and officials in other provincial departments have also gotten infected with the virus.
