flag Over 600,000 unqualified doctors operate illegally in Pakistan, spreading disease and overwhelming hospitals.

flag In Pakistan, around 600,000 unqualified individuals operate as fake doctors, primarily in rural and poor areas, using unlicensed clinics to treat patients with minimal training, often reusing unsterilized medical tools that spread diseases like hepatitis and HIV. flag Despite warnings from health officials and occasional crackdowns, enforcement is hampered by weak laws, limited resources, and threats to inspectors, leading to frequent dismissals of cases and rapid reopening of closed clinics. flag The situation strains public hospitals and endangers patients, sparking calls for urgent systemic reform to address a growing public health crisis.
