Dubious appointments plague health dept
Government has been unable to post permanent director, juniors handed additional charge
KARACHI:
While coronavirus cases continue to balloon in the provincial capital, the Sindh health department appears to have been grappling with struggles of its own. Much of these predicaments stem from the lack of an administrative head and questionable appointments which have seemingly upset the department’s senior staff.
To offer context, the post of the department’s director has remained vacant in Karachi ever since Dr Ismail Memon was sent back to the Dr Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital after a month of service.
