Action taken against two healthcare facilities in Karachi’s Korangi

KARACHI: The Sindh Health Care Commission on Thursday took strict action against two healthcare facilities in Korangi for violating government-approved regulations.

In a swift operation in Korangi District of Karachi, the anti-quackery team conducted raids at the Ahmed Health Care Centre and Masha Allah Medical Center in Korangi No 3.

The officials partially sealed the Ahmed Health Care clinic under section 39 of the SHCC regulations after inspections revealed that the medical practitioner was working beyond its defined scope. The health care practitioner was issued a warning and directed the doctor to ensure proper arrangements while administrating patients.

Meanwhile, the Masha Allah Medical Center was partially sealed after a lady health worker was found performing an ultrasound. The officials said that the health care worker was working beyond the scope of her work in violation of section 33-3 of the SHCC regulations.

In both cases, a doctor was present which is why the health care facilities were not fully sealed. However, strict warnings were issued in both cases with follow-ups to continue in the future.
