Non-implementation of Amal Bill passed by the Sindh government to hold treatment first and formalities later cost a young girl her life at Karachi’s private hospital in Karachi.
In the Sachal Goth neighborhood of Karachi, two siblings on a motorcycle met an accident in which the female sustained serious injuries.
Nazia was rushed to nearby Memon Medical Institute (MMI) Hospital for treatment but as soon as they reached there, the management refused to start the treatment until a deposit of at least Rs 500,000.
The family claimed that the doctors refused to touch the victim since they did not have anything in the pocket.
The victim’s family pleaded with the hospital management to start treating the critically injured patient until they arrange the money.
MMI hospital then demanded Rs 15,000 for administering a drip but Nazia’s brother only had Rs 4,000. However, a doctor in the hospital helped them and lent Rs 5,000.
As she could not be treated timely and formalities overtook the value of human life, Nazia succumbed to her wounds and died.
The victim was taken to the Civil Hospital however the doctors there told Nazia could have survived if he had been given treatment promptly.
News360 Correspondent Abdul Qadir Mangrio made several attempts to speak to the hospital management but the officials refused it.
