FAISALABAD: The district health authority sealed the operation theatre and lab of a private hospital and registered a case against two people for putting up resistance and harassing the inspection team.

The action was taken following a complaint on the Pakistan Citizen Portal that Rachna Hospital on Sattiana Road was being run by unqualified persons.

The authority inspected the hospital and found that no qualified doctor was present in the operation theatre. The instruments being used there were also not approved by the Punjab Healthcare Commission. Similarly, the lab was being run without a pathologist as reports being issued to patients lacked the expert’s signature.
