Karachi’s major government hospitals are in a deep healthcare crisis, struggling with severe shortages of beds, medical staff, and essential facilities, leaving thousands of patients from Sindh and Balochistan without timely treatment. Overcrowded ICUs, delayed admissions, and outdated infrastructure are forcing many to seek costly private care, pushing families into debt. Experts warn that without urgent investment in district hospitals and specialist appointments, the pressure on Jinnah, Civil, and Trauma Centre will continue to grow, worsening an already critical situation.
