The patient, a resident of Yateem Khana, said that the medical staff ignored him and consistently sent him away from the emergency room.
While visiting another patient, Muhammad Zubair disclosed that the patient had been left at the facility by some friends or bystanders because no one was available to take care of him. He said that because the doctors knew he took injectable drugs, they would not touch him.
His wounds couldn't heal because generally pro oil wasn't supplied, according to the doctors. He alleged that doctors failed to put on gloves, administer painkillers, or draw blood for testing. Instead, they phoned the police, who removed him and dropped him off elsewhere without giving a thought to his medical care.
A tertiary hospital, that is. He bemoaned the difficulty of comprehending the medical ethics that permitted doctors to be so callous to their patients. Dr. Yahya Singh, the medical director of JHL, said that it was improper to turn away any patient who had been admitted to the emergency department notwithstanding his inability to talk on the subject.

He reaffirmed that the patient's HIV status was unimportant because the illness is not contagious. To make sure the patient could be admitted to the hospital, he also looked for information about him. Doctors who refuse to treat individuals as you require would face consequences, he added.
HIV is not something to be feared, according to Dr. Akhtar Malik, Punjab's Minister of Secondary and Primary Healthcare, and patients should be treated with dignity. He was addressing at a seminar commemorating World AIDS Day that was conducted in Lahore under the sponsorship of PACP and in collaboration with UNDP and UNICEF.
According to the Minister, adopting a healthy lifestyle and taking preventative steps will help residents defend themselves against the HIV menace.
