CM Sindh took notice of the incident and those responsible in the incident were investigated.

Earlier, police had arrested midwife Sobia over irresponsibility after a male nurse, who was already in police custody, took her name. Accused Sobia had filled the injections which had no labeling and gave it to male nurse Agha Moeez.

Midwife Sobia was sent to jail while other accused have also been handed over to police on a three-day remand.

In another incident, Asmat, 25, visited a government hospital complaining about tooth-ache. The doctor on duty, Dr Ayaz, wrote a prescription of an injection and handed it over to the compounder, Shahzaib. Asmat’s condition deteriorated as soon as the compounder administered the injection. She was immediately shifted to and emergency ward on a stretcher but upon examination the doctors confirmed that she had died.
