Experience at Iqraa Hospital Lahore Pakistan

 Over the weekend we had a 3 day experience at Iqraa Ext Medical Complex Lahore. Before this we always went to Saira Memorial Hospital Model Town Lahore. Iqraa gave a much better experience overall. The staff was more courteous, the charges were low, and Pharmacy is very organised. The nursing staff is very cooperative and the doctors are sympathetic. There was constant cleaning going on in the hospital. Pharmacy staff is very quick and efficient. Reception guys don't have a good attitude. Cafe is less equipped as there is only junk food there.

Now the cons: rooms are small. We tried to find a bigger room, but failed. So the room was full all 3 days. We didn't have many visitors, just caretakers. Secondly, there is issue of parking. During the daytime there is not much issue of parking, but during the evening it is a nightmare, since the consultants come in the evening. Thirdly, there is an issue of workers (female) asking money again and again. They also asked from relatives. When I complained to the administer, he said he cannot do anything about it. The workers would come in mobs and follow you giving "congratulations" and then explicitly asking for money.

A positive point is that Bashir fish restaurant and cakes and bakes bakery is nearby.
