Indian Doctors Did Their Best to save Life of My Wife, Huma Akram: Said by Cricket Legend Wasim Akram

Lahore: Cricket legend Wasim Akram has said doctors in India tried their best to save the life of his wife Huma. He accused their counterparts in Pakistan of only being interested in making money, days after a Parliamentary panel directed authorities to cancel licences of 22 physicians in Lahore who treated her.

“The doctors of hospitals in Lahore took no pain for treating” Huma, who died in Chennai in October, “as they failed to diagnose her problems.” “They were more interested in making money,” Mr. Akram told PTI. “After failing to cure Huma, they asked me to pay $150,000 to arrange an air ambulance to Singapore for her treatment.”

Mr. Akram also refuted claims by doctors in Lahore that Huma’s condition had been improving before the unsuccessful move was made to shift her to Singapore.

After 42-year-old Huma’s condition worsened while she was being flown to Singapore in October, the flight was diverted to Chennai.

Huma, a psychologist, was admitted to a private hospital in Chennai, where she died after a week.

Mr. Akram said the doctors in India did their best to save his wife and Apollo Hospital in Chennai refused to charge even a penny for her treatment.
