According to a news report published in DAWN, the gynecologist refused to admit Asifa Hammad, appor woman, ‘for not bringing test reports from a private lab of choice’ located right in front of Jinnah Hospital.
Hammad, a driver by profession took his wife to the hospital around 2am on Thursday due to her serious condition. But the doctors denied her treatment, subsequently Asifa gave birth to the baby in the washroom of the mosque on the premises of the health facility.
