Doctor Refuses to Treat Christian Patient, Exposing Deep-Rooted Discrimination

A disturbing incident at Civil Hospital Sahiwal, Punjab, Pakistan, has once again highlighted the pervasive religious discrimination faced by Christians in the country.

The incident involved doctors who, instead of fulfilling their duty to save lives, exhibited shocking medical negligence and blatant hatred towards a Christian patient.Yousaf Masih Gill, a Christian resident, reported that his critically ill father was subjected to a shockingly unprofessional and discriminatory treatment by hospital staff.

A Muslim female doctor at the hospital made the chilling statement, “If I had known earlier that you are a Christian, I would not have touched your father.”

This remark, filled with religious prejudice, reveals a deeply troubling level of discrimination that violates both professional ethics and fundamental human rights.Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident.

Christians in Pakistan continue to face widespread persecution and discrimination in various sectors of life, including education, healthcare, and employment. In schools and colleges, Christian students often encounter prejudice and bullying. In hospitals, Christian patients are frequently subjected to neglect and biased treatment.

Even within government institutions, Christians are denied equal opportunities and face systemic discrimination.The incident at Civil Hospital Sahiwal serves as a stark reminder of the deep-rooted discrimination faced by Christians in Pakistan.

It is imperative that authorities take immediate action to address this issue and ensure that all individuals, regardless of their faith, are treated with dignity and respect.
