He directed that the Poly Clinic-II Hospital, currently under construction in Sector G-11, be completed as per its stipulated time frame.

Naveed Baloch instructed that immediate steps should be undertaken to improve the general cleanliness and sanitation level at the hospital. “No patient should be returned without providing proper medical treatment and medicines,” he observed. He also directed that the vacancies of doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff currently lying vacant may be filled as early as possible, as per the relevant provisions, upholding the highest consideration for merit and transparency.

It may be pointed out that the Wafaqi Mohtasib’s Inspection Team visited the Poly Clinic Hospital in response to the large number of public complaints regarding maladministration and difficulties in proper medical treatment at the hospital.

(Retd) Haroon Sikandar Pasha, Advisor, WMS and Consultants Pervaiz Haleem and Khalid Sial. The Team went round various sections and departments of the hospital and issued on-the-spot instructions for prompt redressal of public complaints.

The Team witnessed an extraordinary rush of patients in almost every department of the hospital and the late arrival of doctors, in addition to difficulties in getting the prescribed medicines, conducting various laboratory tests for proper diagnosis, and getting attestation of the medical bills. Some people also complained of subtle attempts on the part of certain staff members to induce the patients to carry out the medical tests from private laboratories.

The Inspection Team expressed its deep concern over the state of affairs, in particular, the overall sanitation and non-functioning of the hospital’s only lift, due to which patients are suffering a great deal.

It also instructed that the biometric system of attendance should be activated forthwith to ensure attendance and availability of the doctors and staff members. Additionally, it urged that a facilitation desk may also be established at the main entrance to guide the patients.
