I have heard that PA is also interested in running the Pakistan Institute of Medical Pathology Services.

Napak army is a pathogen itself.

[RIP Pak LAW]

Napak army is a pathogen itself.

True. We were stupid to realize this fact now. The main problem is this army institution in country. We are better not to have it or subdued one. They literally think country is their soul property.

 

[ARMalik]

These disgusting corrupt Generals will suck the last drop of blood from ordinary Pakistanis until everything dies.

I seldom contribute in these self swearing threads... However,
Dude the fact is, most of us here acting all high and mighty are nothing more than key board warriors... Even if we are thrown off a boat, we would miss hitting the water but nonetheless we like to make a splash. Carry on bad mouthing the army, except even in natural calamities, we have to call the army to keep our feet dry.

The establishment fanboys will justify this that war commanding skills is a critical skill in managing a health institution and performing surgery.

So great job boys.

These are all Military Doctors who are being deputed. Not some damned infantryman.

ISLAMABAD: Amid reservations expressed by doctors who termed the move ‘unfortunate’, the caretaker government has decided to appoint serving officers of the Pakistan Army Medical Corps as the heads of the two largest state-run hospitals in Islamabad – the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) and Polyclinic – on deputation for three years.

However, the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Health Services (NHS) Sajid Shah said the decision was taken in the “best interest of the patients and health sector”, which would “streamline and address all the issues of the hospitals”.

A letter from the health ministry sent to the defence ministry said that the posts of the executive director in Pims and Polyclinic were vacant due to the non-availability of eligible officers from the feeding cadre for promotion to the ED. It stated that because of the “importance it cannot be left out to function without qualified heads of the institutions”.


“In order to ensure effective health care service delivery for the public at large in ICT, it has been desired to fill the posts on secondment basis from Pakistan Army Medical Corps as an interim arrangement,” it added.

“...It is, therefore, requested to convey the availability / spareability of qualified and capable hospital managers of equivalent grade i.e. BS-21 from Pakistan Army Medical Corps for posting as ED Pims and FGPC (BS-21) on deputation basis for a period of three years and until further orders under standard terms and conditions,” it stated.

A senior officer of the health ministry, on the condition of anonymity, said that the appointment of serving army officers would address most of the issues of the hospital.

“Unfortunately almost 80pc of the senior doctors do not come to the hospital on time and the same is the situation regarding the junior doctors and paramedics. We receive tens of complaints, on a daily basis, about the attitude and absence of the staff of both hospitals,” the official said, adding that “only an army officer will be able to enforce discipline and best possible treatment” at these hospitals.

He alleged that doctors at both hospitals were running “labs, MRI and other radiological test machines and force patients to get them tested from outside the hospital at testing facilities owned by them”.

A Pims senior doctor, however, expressed frustration with the decision and termed it “unfortunate”. He claimed that army officers were being appointed in most institutions across the country under the pretext of corruption.

“I don’t want to comment about how the institutions, headed by the officers of armed forces, are being run. just want to say that there are competent people in the health sector who can be appointed as EDs.”

“If there is no competent person in [these] hospitals, the ministry could have hired a civilian. Unfortunately, the officers of armed forces only focus on time-in and time-out and do not care about the quality of work,” he said. “They don’t analyse how many operations a doctor does every day,” he complained.

“We are already facing a shortage of human resources and I fear that many doctors will quit…as they are highly qualified and have options to work within the country and outside the country,” he said.

Spokesperson Sajid Shah, on the other hand, said that caretaker minister Nadeem Jan was a “true health professional and he wanted to bring reforms to the health sector”. “I believe that it is the best possible option to fill the seats of heads in both hospitals. It will address most of the complaints and issues we receive daily,” he said.

Fair point.

But why not let civilian health officials run the institution whose exposure and job experience will be more relevant.

I would think in this situation, a sensible thing to do would be to call out the gradual army control of all institutions which is not their job description.

If anything military officers will have greater experience running hospitals than most doctors. All career medical corps officers are trained to do so, while the vast majority of civilian doctors don't.

That is such a weak argument and goes on to further cement the fact that napak army doesn't want civilians controlling the country, and have for this very reason supported trojaning of bureaucracy ensuring their interests are protected.

Ever asked why the same civilians that these napak choti lulli faujis denigrate, immigrate and perform exceedingly well in western countries? You guessed it well. Napak fauj has knee capped this country and it will remain a low IQ cess pool just because of the same.

Why don't they play cricket or hockey?
Besides cricket, every other federation (hockey, sports, olympic, etc) is run by a retired officer.
So yeah, leeches is a good term for them.

Shhhhhhhh. Silent. Don't talk about cricket again or someone will hear you and they will not spare the cricket board too.
