Demand for a separate ward for transgender had also been rejected by the administration

PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – Lady Reading Hospital’s administration and Health Department has formed an investigative committee directed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister (CM) Pervez Khattak to arrest suspects over deliberate negligence that caused transgender Alisha’s death, reported Dunya News.

Four members had been included by the hospital administration while one from Health Department in the committee. Three members of the committee rejected to sign the final report which absolved hospital administration from the issue while Health Department’s representative had blamed the administration and presented a report to the government in this regard.

Demand for a separate ward for transgender had also been rejected by the administration while a non-government organisation (NGO) active for transgender rights had decided to visit court against the report and also demanded Lady Reading’s license cancellation.
