Karachi Doctors and Quacks

Karachi is full of quacks. They include people who apparently have medical degrees, but still end up hurting people more often than healing them. A good friend of mine, who wants to remain anonymous, has compiled a list of doctors who have good reputation (information collected through first-hand accounts). Here is the list. [Very shortly I will also put here the list of doctors you should avoid, along with their sordid tales (once again, knowledge gained from first-hand accounts.)] So, here are the good ones, along with their fields of specialization.

World Social Forum 2006 Karachi kicks off with gusto

Heartwarming speeches and a palpable spirit of solidarity between delegates from all continents helped World Social Forum Karachi commence with vigor. Over three thousand people attended the program.
