Islamabad : How can Prime Minister Imran Khan extend assurances to the effect that the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) is not being privatised when the Medical Teaching Institutions (MTI) Ordinance clearly states that the hospital will become a corporate entity to be managed by a Board of Governors (BoG)? What else is privatisation?
The above questions, and many more pertaining to the future status of PIMS and its employees, were raised by the leadership of the Federal Grand Health Alliance (FGHA) at a press conference convened on the 18th day of their ongoing strike against the MTI legislation here on Thursday.
