Approval granted: KTH to add to its nursing staff
Institutional Management Council, approved appointments of 200 staff nurses and 34 head nurses at hospital.
PESHAWAR:
In a move to decrease the burden of patients on nurses at Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH), Peshawar, the Institutional Management Council (IMC), approved appointments of 200 staff nurses and 34 head nurses at the hospital in a meeting on Tuesday. The meeting was chaired by KTH Chief Executive Inayat Shah Roghani, while other official and non-official members were also present. The hospital houses 1,248 beds for patients, handled by three shifts of staff. However, additional appointments of nurses had been long coming as no new nursing posts were created since 1996. While speaking to The Express Tribune, Roghani revealed that in the four months that he has held the post, the hospital administration has been successful in addressing almost all pending issues. He added that the entire staff was engaged in working for improvement in hospital services and making efforts to provide the best possible health care facilities to patients. The chief executive said they have decided to write to the K-P secretary health to request his permission for the teaching hospital to purchase higher-quality drugs.
