Deputy Commissioner Attock Imran Hamid Sheikh has directed health authorities not to refer all emergency cases unnecessarily to hospitals in Rawalpindi and has warned that strict action will be taken against the doctors and paramedics involved in this practice.
He said this while chairing a meeting . CEO Health Dr Jawad Elahi and District Emergency Officer Kamran Rashid were present on the occasion.
DC Attock said that govt wanted to provide maximum health facilities to the masses nearest to their door steps and sending refering ailing community to other hospitals is beyond comprehension.
He said that referral cases will be analysed on weekly basis and the reason for referring patients to hospitals in Rawalpindi will be checked in depth and if any referral case found illogical the concerned doctor and other relevant staff will be penalised .
He said that it was a good omen that during the last three months referral cases have been controlled and now patients are being provided facilities with in hospitals of district.
