ISLAMABAD, Nov 18 (APP): A Wafaqi Mohtasib Inspection Team, led by its Director General, Mr. Ashfaq Ahmad, visited the PIMS Hospital on Tuesday. The 5-member team, under the directions of Wafaqi Mohtasib Mr. Ejaz Ahmad Qureshi, inspected various wards.
The Inspection Team instructed that a token system may be introduced in the hospital’s lab in view of the rapidly growing number of patients. It also instructed that the number of ECG rooms may be increased from 3 to 5, providing a separate facility for the ladies.
The Team further asked the administration to hand over the swindlers and beggars sneaking into the hospital to police and also to take immediate steps for dealing with the menace of stray dogs roaming around.
Earlier, the Team was informed in a briefing that two MRI machines and 28 machines for ultrasound are functional in the Hospital. The administration further stated that 93 vacancies of the doctors have been filled through the FPSC.
Similarly, appointments have been made to fill 113 non-gazetted posts while some posts are still lying vacant. The Team was informed that nearly 10,000 patients visit the hospital daily, putting great stress on its meagre resources. It said that the gynae ward alone has to conduct ultrasound of more than 3,000 patients daily.
The Inspection Team directed that the process of recruitment may be expedited for filling the remaining vacancies with highest consideration for merit and transparency in the entire exercise.
