Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram apologised on Monday, to doctors and the medical fraternity for calling private hospitals ‘slaughter houses.’
Akram issued a written apology to the medical fraternity after alleging that a doctor at a local hospital asked him for 150,000 dollars to treat his wife Huma Wasim.
The cricketer said he may have said things that maligned the medical fraternity while still traumatised by his wife’s death.
In a letter sent to National Hospital and Doctors’ Hospital in Lahore, Akram wrote, “I hold the medical community in high esteem and may not have been competent enough to comment on medical negligence.”
Akram insisted that the reason he requested for an inquiry was to ensure a fair and impartial probe and that he was ‘extremely grateful’ for the doctors’ support
