Islamabad, January 15, 2020 (PPI-OT): Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Health Dr. Zafar Mirza has taken serious notice on reports that heads of departments, senior doctors, specialists are often not present in their place of duty and leave their offices before the closing hours. On the direction of Dr. Zafar Mirza Joint Executive Director PIMS Dr. Anjum Javed has issued a strongly worded circular warning that disciplinary action will be taken against doctors found unauthorised absent from duty.
