Anchor Waseem Badami told in his show that the issue of the finances is secondary, the major issue right now is the kind of treatment that is required for Umer is not available in Pakistan.

He added that the treatment is only available in three countries, “USA, Germany and Saudi Arabia”, and the doctors suggest that the treatment should be done in two to three weeks, but due to covid’19 restrictions it is very difficult to go abroad in such a short period of time without the state’s facilitation.
