A female Uber driver in Lahore has expressed gratitude for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for providing her with free treatment for liver disease.
In a video statement, the Lahore Uber driver proclaimed that after God Almighty, PM Shehbaz Sharif gave her a second chance at life. She talked about spending 15 to 16 years of her life struggling with unbearable pain while being hospitalised. Doctors had informed her that she had little to no chance of surviving the ailment without a liver transplant.
The woman then submitted her medical reports at Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute (PKLI). Doctors began prepping her for a liver transplant. However, she did not have the finances to support the procedure.
The Lahore Uber driver went on to say that PM Shehbaz Sharif provided her with free of cost treatment when she had a 90 percent chance of not surviving her condition.
