MUZZAFARGARH: An eight-year-old boy tragically lost his life due to the negligence of a quack doctor in Muzzafargarh, raising serious concerns about the regulation of medical practitioners in the region. The incident occurred on Tuesday when the child was taken to an unlicensed practitioner for treatment.

According to local sources, the boy was suffering from a common ailment, but the quack’s improper treatment led to severe complications. Family members expressed their grief and anger, stating that they had sought help from the unqualified doctor due to the lack of accessible healthcare facilities in their area. “We trusted him because there are no proper doctors nearby,” lamented a relative.

This incident highlights the ongoing issue of unregulated medical practices in Pakistan, where many individuals resort to quack doctors due to inadequate healthcare infrastructure. The government has been urged to take immediate action to address this growing problem and ensure that such tragedies do not recur.

Authorities are expected to launch an investigation into the incident, with calls for stricter enforcement of medical licensing laws. Community leaders are advocating for better healthcare access and awareness programs to educate the public about the dangers of consulting unqualified practitioners.
