ISLAMABAD, May 03, Under the immediate directives of Federal
Minister for Health, Mustafa Kamal, Pakistani children who were recently
deported from India without receiving medical treatment have been
admitted to the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC).
These children were transported directly from the airport to the AFIC
hospital, where they are now receiving the medical care they were
previously denied.
This swift action reflects the government’s commitment to the health and
well-being of its citizens, particularly its most vulnerable.
“Pakistan has not abandoned its ailing children,” said a spokesperson
for the Ministry of Health. “We have fulfilled our promise to ensure
they receive the care they need.”
The Minister’s prompt, humanitarian response underscores the
government’s dedication to protecting its people and upholding their
right to healthcare, regardless of political circumstances.
Treatment is currently ongoing, with doctors at AFIC closely monitoring
each case.
Earlier, Federal Minister for Health, Syed Mustafa Kamal, took notice of
the case involving two Pakistani children who were forced to return from
India without receiving life-saving medical treatment.
Tensions between Pakistan and India have escalated following the
Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK),
which claimed the lives of 26 people, most of them tourists. In the wake
of the incident, India has canceled visas and directed Pakistani
citizens to leave the country.
Among those affected are two minor siblings from Hyderabad, Sindh,
9-year-old Abdullah and his 7-year-old sister Minsa, both suffering from
a congenital heart condition.
The children had traveled to New Delhi with their father, Shahid Ali,
for critical heart procedures, and were admitted to a hospital in New
Delhi. However, they were denied treatment and expelled from the country
following the cancellation of their visas.
