COLLECTING donations for hospitals is commendable but concentrating hospitals in big cities and ignoring the interiorneeds reconsideration.

For example, anyone who needs a heart surgery or a burns treatment in Bahawalpur must travel to Lahore with attendants.

Most people cannot afford it and die in agony. So, there is no justification for expecting those in the interior to donate to hospitals in big cities.

Philanthropists may please consider those living in non-urban areas as Pakistanis who remain deprived of basic health facilities.
