KARACHI: Another toddler on Monday allegedly died after being administered wrong injection at a private hospital in Karachi’s area of Nagan Chowrangi, ARY News reported.

As per details, one and half years old baby girl lost her life after administration of wrong injection to her at a private hospital situated in North Nazimabad’s area of Nagan Chowrangi.
