“The government of Punjab has resorted to harassing the workers of Shaukat Khanum Laboratory (SKL) collection centres in order to hide its own criminal neglect,” a statement released by Omar Cheema, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf central information secretary, on Sunday stated.
It stated some SKL employees had been arrested over alleged over charging, although the hospital had reduced the charge for basic blood test to Rs80 after the government set a Rs90 ceiling. It also said that the chief minister must realise that the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre laboratories generated funds that were used for free treatment of poor patients at the hospital. “These funds are not spent on buying properties and building businesses abroad,” it said.
Imran Khan has strongly condemned the government for the act.
