Widow facing problems

Published March 7, 2003

PESHAWAR, March 6: The widow of a Police Services Hospital employee, who died on Feb 13, has expressed concern over the pathetic attitude of the medical superintendent (MS) of the hospital.

Zahid Jan, 35, son of late Nadir Khan, was a dispenser at the hospital and died of hepatitis C at the LRH.

His widow with tearful eyes told Dawn that her husband needed treatment as well as rest. But the MS did not relieve him from the duties even at a critical stage of his illness.

And now he (MS) was using delaying tactics in awarding pension and other benefits of her husband, she added.
