PESHAWAR: Administration of the Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) is desperately looking towards the judiciary to vacate a stay order of a private contractor and return them a prime space so that they can better utilise it for patient care by installing an MRI machine and the build sunken patio to the basement where all outpatient services are to be shifted from next month.
According to the hospital administration, a private contractor had occupied four prime locations in the hospital and despite fulfilling all legal formalities, the canteen owner had constantly been refusing to return them their space.
PESHAWAR: Like other parts of the country, the power breakdown also affected domestic lives in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the guessing game over the cause of massive breakdown continued for the whole day on Sunday.
Electricity could not be restored in many parts of the provincial capital till Sunday evening, which caused severe shortage of water. The miseries faced by the residents of villages located on the outskirts of Peshawar were doubled by power suspension as they were already facing gas loadshedding.
In Peshawar, all localities suddenly plunged into darkness at about midnight on Saturday. It was learnt that the essential facilities such as hospitals and CNG and petrol stations also faced problems while continuously running the diesel-fuelled generators as a backup power supply for many hours.

PESHAWAR: The administration of Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) took exception to the issues related to the Sehat Sahulat Card programme and accused its management of causing serious complications to patients.
A meeting, chaired by KTH Hospital Acting Director Prof Roohul Muqeem, noted that the team of Sehat Sahulat Card programme was not facilitating the patients in KTH. He complained that the DMO of Sehat Sahulat Card programme visited the hospital on his own will and that too for a short period.
The hospital acting director was told that DMO of the Sehat Sahulat Card programme has been assigned monitoring of other private hospitals in Peshawar by his department, and the patients admitted in second largest hospital of the province, KTH, are not been facilitated timely and efficiently, thus the patient care is adversely being affected.
