PESHAWAR: The ball is now in the court of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government and Peshawar High Court (PHC) whether to let the Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) remain hostage in clutches of qabza mafias or become in realty a state-of-the-art hospital.
For the first time in recent history of the hospital, its administration headed by Prof Roohul Muqeem and Prof Mahmood Aurangzeb challenged the hold of certain mafias to retrieve the hospital’s precious land. The value of the property secured four days ago is stated to be several million rupees.
Prof Roohul Muqeem is the hospital director while Prof Mahmood Aurangzeb is dean of the Khyber Medical College (KMC). Both are well-known surgeons.
