Rawalpindi:
Pakistan Post has begun to close its dispensaries and medical centers in Rawalpindi due to the prevailing financial and economic crisis.
The work of the dispensaries and medical centers has come to an end due to the cessation of the supply of medicines and medical equipment for many years. The together attached to the dispensary and the medical centers have also dissolved.
All medical center staff confirmed the termination of the medical center and the dispensary, saying that doctors and superior staff have been discharged, raw materials for any test, including radiographs, have also been exhausted. “The Medical Center Board has been removed, while all teams, cabinets and other things in the medical center have become trash and have been stored in a room,” they said. Due to the severe shortage crisis, 20 percent of the Post Offices in the Rawalpindi district have closed.
The staff is sitting in their hands. The only doctor of the medical center located at Rawalpindi has been fired from his work due to the lack of funds and has decided to convert the medical center building into the residence of an officer, whose preparations and decoration begin. A few days ago, storage cabinets for medical equipment and emergency beds were also eliminated. The treatment and medical tests of Pakistan Post employees in the medical center have also been suspended.
The officials present at the Medical Center said that for years, a large number of doctors had been published in dispensaries and medical centers in all postal circles throughout the country. “A considerable number of personnel was providing services. But due to the closure of funds and the lack of availability of medicines, test kits and X -ray equipment, there is a situation of extreme anxiety and uncertainty among the staff because a decision on the future of the staff has not been made,” they said. It is not possible to change medical tables, including dispensers and technicians to any other picture of the institution.
According to employees, in the past, the plan to manage the Rawalpindi Medical Center in collaboration with the private sector was under consideration, but now it has also been completed because no part of the private sector has been presented. According to employees, the officer to whom the construction of the Rawalpindi Medical Center has not even been published in this circle.
