KARACHI: A local court summoned Naswha's father and the investigation officer (IO) of the case to confirm the settlement between the family and Darul Sehat Hospital (DUSH).

A district and sessions court of East district was hearing on Monday the case of nine-month-old Nashwa's death due to wrong injection administered to her at DUSH.

The IO informed the court that Nashwa's father and the accused party had reached a settlement.

The charge-sheet held hospital employees Sobia and Agha Moiz responsible and attributed Nashwa's death to the negligence of the hospital staff. Police removed the names of DUSH owners, Amir Chishti and Farhan Ali, from the case.

Baby Nashwa was given a wrong injection at DUSH which paralysed her and caused her death.
