The video shows the sweeper caught stitching wounds while attending to a female patient, highlighting the poor state of emergency services at the hospital.
In the viral video, a sweeper named Abid caught stitching wounds and dressing injuries, due to the absence of qualified medical staff.
Following the video’s circulation, citizens expressed outrage over the lack of medicines and the absence of emergency staff at Pattoki Hospital. They claim that despite receiving substantial funds, the hospital remains under-equipped and mismanaged, raising serious concerns about corruption.
The Punjab government is now facing pressure to address the issue. Residents have urged Chief Minister Punjab to take immediate notice and hold those responsible accountable after reviewing the viral video.

Meanwhile, another case of medical negligence has surfaced in Lahore. In a separate incident, an infant girl suffered severe burns due to alleged negligence at Gangaram Hospital. The baby was placed in an incubator that malfunctioned, causing a temperature rise and resulting in burns.
According to the infant’s father, Rafaqat Ali, the hospital staff was uncooperative and rude when he questioned them about the incident. He alleged that they even expelled him from the nursery. He has appealed to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz for justice and an investigation into the incident.
It is important to note that in 2023, a similar incident occurred when an infant died of burns after being exposed to overheating in an incubator at Lahore’s Children’s Hospital. The infant suffered burns due to severe negligence by doctors, nurses, and medical staff.
