Quackery – a real source of infectious disease spread: Dr Karim

At  the Otsuka’s monthly session, arranged to highlight controlling and curbing contagious diseases and making people wise to their destructive nature, gastroenterologist - Dr Shahid Karim of Liaquat National Hospital, as the guest speaker, blamed quackery as one of the main and most potent sources of hepatitis spread and other infectious diseases, especially in the countryside and even in big cities.
