\nBAJAUR:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Bajaur tribal district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), three Category-D hospitals, operated through public-private partnerships, have been forcibly closed by staff members due to a prolonged non-payment of salaries extending over the past 12 months. <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite their initiation in June 2022, located in Salarzai Tehsil, Larkhalozo, Mamond, and Nawagai areas of Bajaur, these hospitals have faced an ongoing issue of staff members not receiving their rightful salaries.<\/span><\/p>\n

The closures come as a response to repeated protests and appeals by the dedicated staff, including highly trained doctors, who have now opted to shut down the facilities in a collective protest against the prolonged salary delays. <\/span><\/p>\n

This has left the hospitals, equipped with skilled medical professionals, inoperable, raising concerns about the impact on patient care and the broader community\u2019s health needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

An official of these hospitals while talking to The Express Tribune said the hospital building, including OPD, has been locked permanently.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe private company has been paying us for three months after each 12 months which is not acceptable,\u201d he said, adding that government has released funds for the project but the hospital administration is not willing to pay us our dues. <\/span>He said that the protest will continue till the fulfilment of all the demands.<\/span><\/p>\n
