QUETTA, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd May, 2026) Medical Superintendent (MS) Civil Hospital Quetta, Abdul Hadi Kakar, has strongly condemned attempts to malign the hospital through a fake video circulating on social media. Addressing a press conference, he revealed that investigations confirmed the viral footage originated from Uttar Pradesh, India, not from Civil Hospital Quetta.

Abdul Hadi Kakar noted that even a prominent anchorperson had shared the misleading video online, prompting the hospital administration to approach cybercrime authorities. He announced that all individuals involved in spreading the false content would face legal action.

Highlighting the government’s commitment to healthcare, Abdul Hadi Kakar added that Civil Hospital has a full six-month stock of medicines and continues to serve patients from across Balochistan. He described the video as a deliberate attempt to discredit the institution and demoralize the public.
