May 11, 2021 05:14 PM


A video showing a lady doctor demanding money from an Afghan patient at Pakistan-Afghan Dausti Hospital at Torkham has gone viral, leading to the suspicion that other patients from the neighbouring country may also have been asked to pay in lieu of medical treatment, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Tuesday.

Dr Kashmala Orakzai, a woman medical officer at the hospital, can be seen in the video asking for money from the patient.

He at the same time, however, clarified that the KP health department had nothing to do with all this.

He further said that the video had been forwarded to the Ministry of Health in Islamabad.
