Pakistan denies reports funds for fighting COVID-19 misused

Government denies $130m meant to combat pandemic have been mismanaged as country faces severe medicine shortages.

Pakistan’s government has denied reports that $130m meant to fight the coronavirus pandemic have been mismanaged.

Doctors are accusing the government of mismanagement, and some are protesting against government policies and what they call incompetent hospital management.

But as Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid reports, medicine shortages and exorbitant prices are affecting hundreds of patients.
