Owing to the rising number of Covid-19 cases, the Ministry of Health and Population last week stated that at the current rate, the country’s health system would not be able to cope with the pandemic.
The statement that later drew a lot of criticism said that government hospitals would not be able to cater to the patients if cases continued to rise. Denizens of the country, after the statement was released, have been reminding how the Health Ministry cannot shy away from the responsibility especially at such a delicate time, even in the past, it has done little to nothing.
