Sources reveal that these doctors and paramedics were posted at Mian Rashid Memorial Hospital, Pabbi, and District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital, yet they remained persistently absent from their official duties.
It is further alleged that these absentee employees were enjoying political backing, which had prevented any action against them. However, the District Health Department has now decided to initiate legal proceedings against all absent doctors.
