Negligence by doctors

Letter July 14, 2015
The government needs to take serious steps regarding the carelessness on the part of doctors

TURBAT: Recently, a woman died during childbirth in a leading private hospital of Karachi allegedly due to negligence by doctors. We get to hear of cases of medical negligence on a regular basis in Karachi, which is supposed to be the most advanced region of the country. The government needs to take serious steps regarding the carelessness on the part of doctors and laws should be instituted that punish any negligence shown by them.
