ISLAMABAD:
The Federal Health Ministry has requested the federal public service commission (FPSC) to stop recruitment process at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS).
In this regard, the joint secretary of the ministry sent a letter to his counterpart in the commission to halt the process of hiring 24 senior registrars. This is because they were considering transforming Pims into an autonomous body. Therefore, the hospital would develop its own service structure and no more civil servants would be required at the hospital.
