Non-operational X-Ray machines at Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar

PESHAWAR: Five out of the eight X-Ray machines in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s largest hospital are non-operational.

These machines have not been functioning for the last two years causing a great deal of difficulty for patients.  The CT-Scan machine at the hospital has also not been working for the last three months.

When Geo News spoke with the administration at the hospital, they were unable to answer why the machines had not been fixed for the last two years.  

Apart from the non-operational medical machines, the administration of the hospital has also raised the price of X-Rays to Rs 200. This sharp increase has been attributed to private hospitals in the city raising their prices.
