The inquiry report into the deaths of patients due to non-provision of oxygen in Peshawar’s Khyber Teaching Hospital has been released. The report charges six hospital employees with negligence and proposes removal of hospital director Tahir Nadeem from his post.
The Inquiry report has recommended severe punishment for supply chain manager Ali Waqas. It says that the hospital ran low on oxygen supply on the night between December 5 and 6. The hospital director, who was posted in July, did not take any interest in addressing the matter. The agreement between the oxygen supply company and the hospital expired in June 2020 and was never renewed.
