The SHC has sought reply from the Sindh government and other parties and directed the health care commission to bring performance report in the next hearing on May 2.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the report of Sindh Health Care Commission, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah here on Wednesday directed to seal Darul Sehat Hospital over negligence, violation of rules and administering wrong injection to nine-month-old Nishwa.
The commission in its report had recommended a monetary penalty of Rs500,000 on Dar ul Sehat Hospital and ordered the medical facility to sack the ‘untrained’ staff in wake of mistreatment and resultant death of toddler girl Nishwa.
