Karachi is currently facing a series of critical infrastructure challenges, particularly in its healthcare and safety systems. According to the Pakistan News Network, the city's hospitals are operating in 'decades-old structures' with 'fragile electrical wiring' and a lack of organized fire response systems, posing significant risks to patients and medical staff. The Express Tribune highlights a recent survey that underscores these safety gaps, reflecting a broader issue of neglect in Karachi's public facilities. This sentiment is echoed by Aaj TV, which reports on the Sindh High Court's involvement in the Gul Plaza fire case, where the Chief Fire Officer noted that a fire safety survey was conducted in 2021, yet enforcement of safety regulations remains outside the fire brigade's jurisdiction.
