A disturbing event has emerged from Rawalpindi, where the family of a deceased child has accused a local private hospital of placing their 13-year-old son on a ventilator despite his death.
According to a report by Aaj News, Syed Zohaib Shah had undergone a surgical procedure at the hospital and passed away shortly after. The family claims that the hospital staff continued to use the ventilator, misleading them into believing that the boy was still alive. They only discovered the truth after paying a total fee of Rs250,000, at which point they were informed of the boy’s death.
