Kurla Hospital Pharmacy Closed, Patient Denied Medicine
Imagine you're really sick and need medicine, but the hospital pharmacy is closed!
That's what happened to a man named Ayaz in Mumbai.
He went to the hospital with a bad headache, but the pharmacy was shut because the night worker was sick.
Even though he asked for help, he was told to buy medicine outside, which was hard at 2 a.m.
His family protested, and the police came to calm things down.
The hospital said the pharmacy is now open, but this has happened before due to staff shortages.
A patient, Ayaz Qureshi, sought treatment at Bhabha Hospital in Kurla West around 2 a.m.
The hospital pharmacy was closed due to the absence of the night shift staff.
Qureshi was told to buy medicine outside, despite the late hour.
Relatives protested the lack of medication, leading to police involvement.
The hospital administration attributed the closure to a staff member's illness and stated the pharmacy is now functioning normally.
