Car donated to DHQ hospital used as taxi by doctor

Report GH Farooqui, Chitral

An Alto car donated to the District Headquarters Hospital Chitral
in 2004 for patients welfare and use as an ambulance was parked
in the hosue of a doctor for two years and then used as Rent A Car,
sources said.
However, the amount earned by using the vehicle as a taxi was not
used for the welfare of the needy patients. It is pertinent to note
that the owner of the car who had donated it for the patients was
the principal of Government Degree College for Girls Chitral, who
also frequently travelled in the taxi and hesitantly paid the fares.
Later, on the intervention of the provincial government and the
executive district officer health, the new medical superintendent
(MS) of the DHQ Hospital, Dr Nazir Ahmad, returned the vehicle to the
original donor.
Social and political circle of Chitral have demanded an inquiry
into the matter and said the amount earned from the taxi should
be used retrieved from the doctor and used for patients welfare.
