LAHORE - Three more kids died of measles at different hospitals in the province on Tuesday, taking the death toll to 151. One measles patient lost his life at Jinnah Hospital, second at Mayo Hospital while third death was reported from Mandi Bahauddin. So far 84 kids have lost to the monster in Lahore. As many as 251 measles patients were admitted to different hospitals in the province, including 14 in Lahore. So far 17,046 measles cases have been reported from across the province including 5049 in Lahore. As public sector hospitals are overburdened due to influx of such a huge number of measles, gastro and diarrhoea patients, people are approaching private healthcare centres for treatment of their dear and near ones. Lack of beds is not the only problem faced by patients at government hospitals, necessary medicines are not available and people are forced to purchase even syringes from the market.
