TOBA TEK SINGH: An eight-year-old ailing girl allegedly died due to being administered a wrong injection at Kamalia THQ Hospital on Tuesday.
Her father, Shahid Iqbal Ranjha, claimed that he brought his daughter, Asmara Bibi, to the hospital, where child specialist Dr. Hafiz Habibur Rahman prescribed an injection,Septrazon, which was not available in the hospital. He purchased the injection from a medical store outside the hospital.
A nurse verified the injection with the doctor before administering it. However, as soon as Asmara was given the injection, her condition worsened, and she died shortly after.
Following a protest by her relatives, who accused the hospital staff of negligence, Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Naeem Sindhu ordered an inquiry into the incident. A committee, led by Assistant Commissioner Iqra Nasir Awan, has been formed to investigate the matter.
