On 13 October 2022, horrific videos and images of multiple deceased people found on the roptop of Nishtar Hospital, Multan in a bad condition circulated on social media. After the pictures and videos came out, questions arose on social media that whose bodies are these and why they are lying helpless?[1][2][3]
Police and rescue personnel were blamed by a representative of the Hospital for the decomposing remains.[4]
Investigation[edit]
Following incident, the Punjab government last night announced an investigation and required the Nishtar Hospital medical superintendent to provide an explanation within three days.[5][6] A six-person committee was established by the Punjab government to look into the shocking incident.[4] The South Punjab Health Department would get the results of the investigation.[7]
The preliminary investigation report was given to Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi on October 13, 2022, who then ordered the dismissal of Dr. Mariam Ashraf, the head of the anatomy department at Nishtar Medical University (NMU), along with the suspension of three doctors, three hospital staff members, and two SHOs of the corresponding police stations.[8][8][9]
