THE Peshawar High Court has asked the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Care Commission (HCC) to extend action against illegal private health facilities and human organ trade to the entire province and produce detailed reports about it.
A bench consisting of Justice Qaiser Rasheed and Justice Ahmad Ali upheld the crackdown on private health facilities, including hospitals and laboratories, since they were involved in selling poor people’s organs.
A kidney transplantation was done of Haji Habib Khan, by a group, including some doctors, for Rs2.55 million last year. The doctors must be caught for doing such a heinous act and given an exemplary punishment. There must not be any mercy for such doctors who play with the lives of poor people.
