PIC scam: Truth costs Services Hospital MS dear

Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif speaks of morals and principles, but when it comes to his government’s efficiency or inefficiency, he goes to any extreme and takes any drastic steps.While the death toll from the wrong medicines of the Punjab Institute of Cardiology built up pressure, the Punjab government seemed stepping up efforts to hide the extent of tragedy. The provincial government published advertisements and skirted the issue of casualties altogether. The Health Secretary saved his skin and service by downplaying the number of casualties, but the MS of Services Hospital Lahore paid the price for his truth – in the form of suspension.When the reality of the Health Secteraty’s lies started to expose, the Khadam-e-Aala (CM) thought of visiting Services Hospital, and suspended the MS under the pretext of poor arrangements for patients.
