Staff Shortages and Infrastructure Issues Affect Attock's Chhab Health Centre Services
The Maryam Nawaz Health Centre in Chhab, Attock district, faces a healthcare crisis due to six vacant doctor positions and prolonged staff shortages. Patients rely on a dispenser for consultations and often travel to Rawalpindi for treatment. Despite over PKR 30 million spent on upgrades, infrastructure issues persist, including a faulty electricity transformer limiting X-ray services. Residents have appealed to Punjab's Chief Minister and health authorities to fill vacancies and ensure substitute doctors during leaves to restore essential medical services.
