Quetta: During a hearing regarding substandard stents at the Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday one major revelation was made- the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) region has just one certified cardiac doctor.

The case was heard by a three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed.

The apex court expressed anger over the chief executive officer (CEO) of K-P provincial healthcare commission, reports The Express Tribune.

“It is shocking to have only one certified cardiac doctor in the entire KP province,” the chief justice remarked.

The CJP then inquired about how 4,615 heart procedures were performed in K-P in the last one year with just a single certified cardiac doctor.

Expressing his frustration, the top judge stated that the healthcare CEO should resign from his position, reports the newspaper.
