      <title>Power outage at Lahore’s Jinnah Hospital halts surgeries</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330417234/power-outage-at-lahores-jinnah-hospital-halts-surgeries</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lahore’s major public hospital, Jinnah Hospital, experienced a power outage lasting over four hours, plunging most departments into darkness and forcing ongoing surgeries to be halted.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the hospital administration, the outage was caused by a technical fault, and the Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has been informed. Officials say efforts are underway to restore electricity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The prolonged power failure created severe difficulties for patients and medical staff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Operation theaters, laboratories, and other critical departments were affected, leading to the postponement of several surgeries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The administration stated that power was supplied to some essential departments through generators to maintain emergency services to some extent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the overall lack of electricity significantly disrupted patient care.&lt;/p&gt;
