HYDERABAD, Nov 12: A villager has accused a privately-run laboratory of issuing him a wrong test report, which declared that his son’s kidneys had failed, and demanded its closure.
Ghulam Rasool of Haji Abdul Karim Jahejo village said at a news conference at the press club on Wednesday that a child specialist advised a test of his 12-year-old son Mohammad Ashraf some time back when he was suffering from high fever.
He took his son to Time Laboratory which gave the report that his son’s kidneys had failed, he said.
The child specialist, however, rejected the report and advised him to go for Aga Khan Hospital laboratory, whose report showed everything was quite normal. When he contacted the laboratory again, the staff threatened with dire consequences, he said.
“The false report issued by the Time Laboratory has caused me a lot of mental torture and I, therefore, demand an inquiry against the laboratory and call for its closure,” Ghulam Rasool said.
