Topsy turvy postings taking place at PIMS
ISLAMABAD: apparently, it has became a fashion in Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) that employees appointed at lower ranks are enjoying the higher posts due to the favoritism of the hospital authorities. More than 150 officials in the hospital were appointed on lower ranks but are now transferred to the posts above the required qualifications, The Spokesman has learned.
A reliable source within the hospital disclosed that there are many cases in which the employees appointed as ward boy are later requested to be transferred to their desired technical section, however neither the have the required qualification nor the experience for the post according to the hospital rules.
By quoting an example, he further stated that recently an employee named Sheeraz Khan, who was basically appointed as a ward boy, was transferred to the Liver Operation Theater as a technician on his own request. Later he again requested to be transferred to Children Operation Theater (OT) for the same post, where the head nurse under his influence also recommended his transfer by stating that the OT required technical staff. The source further said that Sheeraz had basically done a short course of OT technician on the basis of which he requested for the post, but actually the post requires at least 4 to 5 years of experience.
While another reliable source disclosed that an employee named Atif, previously working as Operation Theater Technician has also been transferred as anesthesia technician, which required more experience, qualification and proficiency as compared to the OT Technician but the administration of the institute has closed their eyes over the issue.
However Dr. Iqbal Memon, the administrator of PIMS did not respond the call when he was tried to contact to get his version.
