She said that the doctors asked the air ambulance administration to wait for a day. She said that it would be a massive financial loss if the air ambulance departs without carrying Umer Sharif to the US for medical treatment.

She appealed to the federal and Sindh government to help extending the waiting period of the air ambulance.
