SKILLED NURSES: We hardly appreciate our nurses as much as we appreciate the doctors. Staff nurses, responsible for the holistic care of patients, are scarce in Pakistan, especially in Balochistan. As a result, those who are professionally available remain overburdened with work and have to deal with a number of distressing issues of their own. There is only one staff nurse for over 70 patients in Balochistan, and a total of 960 staff nurses in the province against the required 10,000. The gap needs to be reduced significantly.
