Karachi: Dr Seemin Jamali, well-known as an iron lady or bullet lady, breathed her last on Saturday evening at the age of 61, as confirmed by her family.
In the recent days, Dr Jamali's health had deteriorated significantly, and she was reported to be in critical condition. She had been receiving intensive care treatment at a private hospital. The esteemed doctor had been battling colon cancer since 2020.
Dr. Jamali's oxygen levels had dropped, and she was using a BiPAP machine for respiratory support. Her husband had informed that she was admitted to the hospital last Friday when her condition worsened.
