(160401) -- NEW DELHI, April 1, 2016 () -- Mohammad Iqbal, a practitioner locally know as Hakeem, makes cuts on a foot of a woman in Wazirabad Gaon village in North Delhi, India, April 1, 2016. An Open air clinic "Rahat Open Surgery" boasts of curing its patients by using old practice of bloodletting. Practitioner Iqbal and his helpers tie the hand or leg with a cloth rope and make an incision with a razor blade to let the blood rush out from the body of patients, following the ancient medical practice that assumed draining small amounts of blood would prevent illness and cure disease. "My work is to just take out the bad and impure blood by making these incisions, and the cure is up to God", said Iqbal. In a city with world-class hospitals and facilities, people still queue at this open-air clinic to be treated for various ailments through the process of bloodletting. (/Javed Dar)
