PESHAWAR: Another committee has been constituted to fix responsibility for the incident in Khyber Teaching Hospital which led to the death of six patients owing to lack of oxygen on December 6.
Chief Minister Mahmood Khan, who has earlier sought report on December 11, has now permitted the Board of Governors (BoG) of KTH to take more time but come up with concrete findings and fix responsibility and terminate the people responsible for the incident instead of taking light action.
“We have been given permission by the chief minister to spend more time but conduct a thorough inquiry into the matter. We have formed a committee comprising three professors, who would compile a detailed report this week,” Prof Nadeem Khawar, the chairman of KTH BoG, told Dawn.
