It has been revealed that a government hospital doctor in Lahore allegedly received over Rs 1 million for a heart operation that was supposed to be free.
The doctor, identified as heart surgeon Dr. Rafay Gillani, reportedly received the staggering amount directly from the patient’s family into his personal bank account.
Following the revelation, the Punjab Health Department initiated disciplinary action against Dr. Gillani under the Punjab Employees Efficiency, Discipline and Accountability (PEDA) Act.
Additionally, a ward boy at the hospital has been accused of taking Rs 10,000 from the same family just to enlist the patient’s name on the surgery schedule.
The ward boy also reportedly threatened the patient’s family.
