In December, six Covid-19 patients at the KTH in Peshawar died due to a lack of timely supply of oxygen. Out of the six patients, five patients admitted to the hospital's coronavirus ward while one was in the intensive care unit (ICU).

The hospital failed to receive its regular hospital supply from Rawalpindi on time, leading to the death of the critically ill patients, he added.

Later, seven officials of Khyber Teaching Hospital including the medical facility’s director were suspended after an inquiry report found them negligent in performing their duties.
