Sindh appoints seven doctors at JPMC; decision opposed

KARACHI:Sindh Health Department has posted seven doctors in Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC). However, JPMC doctors association has demanded withdrawal of notification about the posting of the doctors.

 

The following doctors Dr Shazia Shahnawaz, Dr Erum Ilahi, Dr Raja Mummed M Ussab, Dr Abdul Kaleem Khooso, Dr Sajjad Ali Bughio, and Dr Farrukh Hussain were posted in JPMC on vacant posts from different hospitals of Sindh.

 

President JPMC’s Doctors Association Dr Naeem Khan and Senior Vice-President Dr Ghulam Shabbir have expressed their reservation over posting of doctors in the hospital and added that JPMC is a federal healthcare entity, so Sindh government could not post doctors in it.

 

They informed that uncertainty was prevalent among doctors and other staff following the illegal posting of doctors in JPMC. They demanded of the Sindh government to withdraw/cancel this decision; otherwise, doctors would boycott OPDs to record protest.
