Patients are facing difficulties due to the unavailability of influenza test kits in government hospitals in Lahore.
Patients visiting Mayo Hospital are experiencing problems and are being forced to return without undergoing tests.
The Medical Superintendent of Mayo Hospital said that there are no influenza kits available, questioning how tests can be conducted. He added that there is also a shortage of influenza kits in the market.
It is worth noting that in recent days, the presence of the rapidly spreading super flu virus worldwide has also been confirmed in Pakistan.
According to the World Health Organization, influenza cases have increased rapidly in several European countries, including the United Kingdom, due to a new flu strain A(H3N2) sub group sub clade K.
The presence of super flu influenza has also been confirmed in Pakistan, and sources say that the new strain A(H3N2) sub group sub clade K was found in 20 percent of the samples.
