ISLAMABAD: The administration of Pakistan Institute of Medical Science (PIMS) has suspended its Waste Management Committee over corruption charges and failure to burn the waste content of hospital into insulators.
It further revealed that hospital administration has formed a new investigation committee in order to inquire the entire fiasco.
According to information available with Daily Times, PIMS Administrator Dr Zafar Altaf has suspended the WMC including the in-charge Deputy Director indoor Dr Faisal, member Shahid Khattak, ward boy Nazir Quershi and Nursing Superintendent Zafar Chana.
Ironically, PIMS administration did not sideline Head of the WMC and Chief Nurse Farzana Islam because of her influence over the top hierarchy of PIMS.
Sources told this scribe that Chief Nurse Farzana Islam is a powerful person and hospital administration did not act against her despite getting a number of complaints for negligence in her working.
When the Daily Times contacted Administrator PIMS Dr Zafar Altaf, he said that hospital administration will not bear the corruption charges and any kind of negligence in duty.
Waste management committee is not picking the waste of hospital on proper time so thats why we suspend the whole members of the committee, Dr Altaf Zafar added.
“We have received numerous complaints of corruption against the committee member so a new inquiry committee has been formed to dig out the matter,” he concluded.
