Dues dispute hits Holy Family Hospital
A dispute has erupted between the contractors supplying medicines and related materials and the administration of the city's largest Holy Family Hospital over the non-payment of millions of rupees. Contractors have rejected the hospital administration's acknowledgment of dues amounting to Rs230 million, insisting that the outstanding amount is Rs400 million. The hospital administration has maintained that payments will be made by June 30. According to the contractors, they have not received payments for goods supplied, and they are also being asked for donations. They claim they have a right to the payment for the supplied goods, which has yet to be paid. On the other hand, Dr Ijaz Butt, the Medical Superintendent of Holy Family Hospital, stated that with three months remaining until the end of the current financial year, the hospital will clear Rs230 million in dues based on the Drug Testing Laboratory (DTL) clearance of the supplied medicines. The outstanding dues will be processed by the end of the financial year. Dr Butt added that if payments are not made by June 30, the remaining dues will be considered as liabilities. He further clarified that donations are voluntary, and no one is being forced to donate.
