LAHORE: Punjab’s largest hospital Mayo Hospital in Lahore has sought donations from citizens for the treatment of burnt children being admitted to its burn unit, Pakistan Today observed on Tuesday. Mayo Hospital has been receiving donations in terms of equipment, the rehabilitation of different departments and also for the construction of new wards. The hospital’s Patients’ Welfare Association (PWA) has started its campaign to collect charity and donations for treatment, grafting and operations of the burn patients, particularly children. It further reads that burn patients are treated through a skin grafting process which costs rupees 55,000 for one patient. “I have strictly ordered PWA officials to abstain from collecting donations from any citizen,” Khalil said while responding to a question if the hospital needs donations for patients with cancer.
