MINOR BOY LOSES LIFE DUE TO ‘DOCTORS’ NEGLIGENCE

KARACHI: A 15-month-old boy died due to alleged negligence of doctors in Karachi’s private hospital, where he was taken due to vomiting

A 15-month-old boy, namely Zohan, was taken to a private hospital in Karachi’s Gulshan-e-Iqbal area as he was suffering from vomiting.

In a statement, the victim’s father said that there was no pediatrician present in the hospital at that time. The on-duty doctor injected Zohan with several drips and gave medicines, after which the minor boy’s lips turned blue and died during the treatment.

The victim’s father – Farhan – claimed that the police have refused to register a first information report (FIR) against the doctors – identified as Dr Ghazala and Dr Samina.
