3-year-old girl dies due to alleged wrong injection at Karachi's private hospital

A 3-year-old baby girl died at a private hospital in Karachi's Akhtar Colony areas after being allegedly administered a wrong injection by medics. 

Jinnah Hospital administration claimed that the girl was brought dead to the hospital.

Geo News reported that the family members took the girl to a private hospital on the complaint of fever.

Earlier, a tragic incident unfolded at a private hospital in North Karachi's Sector 11B, where a pregnant woman passed away, sparking protests from her family within the hospital premises.

According to the police, the woman had been scheduled for a checkup with her assigned doctor, who was reportedly on leave at the time.

The doctor on duty was reportedly occupied with another patient's examination, leaving the woman without immediate medical attention.

The hospital administration, however, maintained that the woman had already passed away before she could be seen by a doctor.

In response to the death, the police have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

As part of their inquiry, they are questioning the hospital staff, including the administration and medical personnel, as well as the victim's family, to determine whether any medical negligence or misconduct occurred.
