PESHAWAR, Sept 17: The NWFP health department has prepared a summary for the approval of the chief minister for reinstating contract doctors whose services were terminated recently.

Several contract doctors were sacked after the appointment of medical officers recommended by the NWFP Public Service Commission.

A health department official said the government did not want to make the doctors jobless.

In the summary, the chief minister has been requested to reinstate the contract doctors so that their experience did not go to waste. It suggests providing employment to the contract doctors for three years.

After reinstatement, the health department will seek requisition of the Public Service Commission for regularisation of their services.—APP
