KARACHI: The Sindh High Court on Friday asked medical superintendent (MS) of the Civil Hospital Karachi to make vascular and isolation wards at the hospital operational.

The MS assured the division bench headed by Justice Hassan Azhar Rizvi who heard a petition against the wards’ closure that they would be made functional as soon as the hospital found a suitable doctor to look after them.

The petitioner submitted that the wards were closed due to doctors’ shortage and after the head of the ward Prof Dr Sohail Ahmed Khan went on long leave about two years ago.
