On the 24th of December 2015, the BBC reported the death of a 10th month old baby girl in Pakistan’s Karachi's Civil Hospital named Bisma Faisal Baloch. She was delayed medical treatment for her breathing difficulties for over an hour due the visit of the Chairman of the Pakistan's People's Party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto. The incident has sparked international condemnation, particularly in Pakistan’s social media groups as there has been increasing criticism of Pakistan’s elite Very Important Person (VIP) culture where the needs of those not linked to the government are neglected. Doctors stated that the toddler could have been saved if she was able to access the hospital only 10 minutes earlier.
