A major medical negligence case has surfaced in Faisalabad’s Children’s Hospital, where doctors allegedly operated on the wrong leg of a minor girl.

According to the family, the three-year-and-eight-month-old child was admitted with pain in her right leg. However, surgeons reportedly operated on her left leg despite clear instructions in the patient chart.

The child’s father said that when he raised the issue, hospital staff responded rudely and refused to acknowledge the mistake. He also alleged attempts to alter medical records to conceal the error.

The family staged a protest at the hospital and submitted a formal complaint to the Medical Superintendent, demanding a transparent inquiry and strict action against those responsible.

Hospital authorities have yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
