The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government seems to be indifferent towards the multi-billion healthcare initiative taken by the last Shehbaz Sharif government – the Pakistan Kidney & Liver Institute (PKLI) – as an official report reveals that institute had been spending more on the salaries and perks of its 1,286 employees as compared to the patients.
According to the report, only seven liver transplants have been performed at the PKLI since March 2019 to Sept 2020, while the in...stitute has spent Rs2,639 million under various heads during financial year 2019-20.
Interestingly, it says that a major chunk of the hefty funds - Rs1,566 million - was spent on salaries and other perks and privileges of the institute’s employees during the period.
According to the report, the PKLI performed only 87 kidney transplants during the last two years, while the institute’s operational expenses doubled during the same period as compared to the cost incurred during FY 2019-20.
It shows that the mega health project had become a white elephant instead of being a patient-friendly health facility.
Receiving backlash for attending the Hussain Rehar solo show and exposing herself to countless other names from the industry, Farwa responded to angry users saying she was only coughing at the time of the show, which wasn't enough of a scare to go get tested.
Adding that she had initially ignored symptoms during Hussain Rehar's show over the weekend, she regretted her decision instantly.
