CM Buzdar suspends doctor on patient’s complaint

SHEIKHUPURA: Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Sunday suspended a doctor who asked a patient’s family members to bring medicines from outside the hospital due to non-availability of free medicines at the health facility.

During a surprise visit to the DHQ Sheikhupura, he inquired from the patients about the medical facilities and provision of free medicines. Upon receiving a complaint, the chief minister directed the authorities concerned to suspend trauma centre’s Dr Muzammil and sought a detailed report on the provision of free medicines to patients.
