letter to the editor!

We the students of *********** are extremely agitated at the unethical, unhygienic and unprofessional working conditions in the hospital. We are being charged excessively in the names of materials which are not being provided to us. Not only are this but the materials which are being supplied are of no use to us because those procedures aren’t required to be carried out by us at that level. Adding more to our frustration is the fact that we are being asked to bring our own gloves and masks which are the basic requirements for infection control and a basic necessity for anyone working in a hospital.
To top the list is the fact that it is also the only hospital in Karachi which does not pay its house officers. Nepotism and favoritism is being practiced.
Apart from all of this we are being asked to pay the tuition fee 2 years I advance. And upon refusing to do so we weren’t given our mark sheets and students weren’t allowed to attend lectures.
A few years back the graduating students were also asked to pay for their degree and PMDC recognition. This is highly unacceptable as the degree is to be provided by the college which they receive from Karachi University.
We request the chief minister Sindh, Governor Sindh and minister of education and all relevant authorities to look into this matter.
