They informed Dawn that managers of a medical teaching hospital must be MBBS physicians with a master’s degree in health administration and a minimum of five years of experience working in a teaching hospital in order to comply with PMDC regulations.
Many of their qualified colleagues, according to the doctors in the management cadre, were waiting to be posted.
According to them, on August 8, the health department named dental surgeon Dr. Sharafat Ali Khan (BPS-19) as the MS of the Saidu Group of Teaching Hospital Swat, despite the fact that BPS-20 medical professionals with management training and experience were the intended candidates for the role.
Such appointments, according to CM’s focal person, are made when management cadre doctors are unavailable.
They claim that because the appointee, a dentistry graduate, does not possess a master’s degree in health management, he does not meet the requirements for appointment.
