Meanwhile, the helicopter service for evacuating patients from Kurram has been suspended for the past 10 days, creating severe difficulties for those in need of medical attention.
Dr. Mir Hussain Jan, the Medical Superintendent of the District Headquarters Hospital, stated that the suspension of helicopter services has hindered the transportation of medicines and patients. A letter has already been sent to the district administration, requesting the resumption of the service.
Dr. Jan added that the hospital has requested the evacuation of 74 patients, as road transportation remains impossible due to the prevailing situation in the region.
