Bizarre Case: Doctor Declared Dead While Alive

The Sindh Health Department mistakenly declared Dr. Syed Liaquat Ali Shah dead, while he is alive and working at a government hospital. The mix-up surfaced during a court case on recruitment, with officials erroneously providing a death certificate. Dr. Liaquat refrained from commenting pending official communication.

In a peculiar development, the Sindh Health Department has declared Dr. Syed Liaquat Ali Shah, the serving medical superintendent of a government ophthalmology hospital, as deceased, while reports confirm he is alive and well.

This shocking revelation surfaced in the course of a court submission relating to an employee recruitment case. It was during this submission that health officials erroneously claimed Dr. Liaquat had issued a recruitment order posthumously, reportedly providing a misleading death certificate to the court.

Dr. Liaquat, who has a notable history of over 400 employee recruitments, is yet to make an official statement, citing the absence of a formal letter from the health secretary as his reason for withholding comments. This mix-up raises significant questions about internal communication within the department.
