Hospital fails to depute medical team at Qaqlasht

BOONI, April 28: One of the organizers of the Qaqlasht festival on Tuesday regretted that the in-charge of the tehsil headquarters hospital in Booni did not keep his promise to send a medical team to the venue of the tournament despite repeated requests by them. Talking to ChitralToday on phone, Muhammad Pervez Lal said that a number of football and cricket players suffered injuries but there was no one even to provide them the first aid. He said the organizers had requested the in-charge of the hospital, Dr Sher Nadir, to send a team but despite assurances he failed to send the team. He said that thousands of people had gathered at the venue and different teams from outside Chitral had also come to participate. He said that it was the responsibility of the hospital management to depute a medical team at the venue of the tournament to provide first-aid to any injured players or meet any other emergency situation.]]>
