Gas cut off at five Pakistan hospitals

Hospitals lose gas supply because of outstanding payments


The Sui Southern Gas Company suspended gas supplies to five major medical facilities in Pakistan, giving a final warning to one more to pay their bills within the next 15 days, according to an article on The Tribune Express website.

The utility disconnected the gas at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, the 100-bed Liaquatabad Hospital, the 100-bed Sindh Government Hospital in Khokrapar and National Institute of Child Health (NICH).

According to utility officials, the company had, until now, avoided disconnecting supplies to hospitals and other healthcare facilities on humanitarian grounds. 

The officials said that the company’s policy was to provide ample opportunity to all defaulting institutions to settle their dues before taking any drastic action.
