HYDERABAD, April 27: The Medical Superintendent of the Civil Hospital Hyderabad, Dr Hadi Bux Jatoi, has urged the Sindh government to revive the old policy about the training of postgraduate students of the Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences.

Speaking at a press conference here on Tuesday, he said that under that policy senior doctors were not transferred to accommodate postgraduate students. He said that 50 per cent of postgraduate students' admission fee should be given to the CHH.

He suggested that the Diagnostic and Research Laboratory of the LUMHS should confine itself only to research and not to carry out routine medical tests of indoor patients of the CHH. He said that no money would be charged for the laboratory tests, ICU, the casualty department and operation theatres.

He said that before his appointment, registrars used to refer all tests to the DRL but he had directed them that all the routine investigations would be conducted in hospital's laboratory.

Mr Jatoi said that the DRL did not contribute a single penny to the hospital though it worked on its premises. He said that he would take up the matter with the LUMHS authorities and the Sindh secretary health.
