\nLAHORE:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Punjab Healthcare Commission (PHC) has cracked down on an impostor who was operating a clinic in Gulberg under false pretenses. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dr Shahrezad Faruk Czar, who also goes by the name Dr. Zaar, had been claiming to be an endocrinologist with counterfeit foreign qualifications, despite being registered only as a medical graduate (MBBS) with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC).<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr Zaar had been offering specialized healthcare services in diabetes, sexual disorders, and weight loss, all while deceiving patients with forged post-graduate degrees. His official registration with the PMDC, however, indicates that he holds an MBBS degree from Karachi University.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response, the PHC conducted an operation and subsequently sealed Dr. Zaar’s clinic, which was located within a private hospital in Gulberg. Both the hospital administration and Dr. Zaar have been summoned to appear before a PHC hearing committee.<\/span><\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Dr. Zaar has been embroiled in illegal practices. In mid-2022, he was operating as an endocrinologist and providing similar services.<\/p>\n
