Wrong injection takes another minor girl’s life in Karachi

Another minor girl in Karachi lost her life after administration of wrong injection by a fake doctor at a clinic in 13-D Gulshan-e-Iqbal area on Sunday.

According to reports on media, the eight-year-old girl was taken to the clinic in the area over breathing issues where she was given wrong injection.
