Balochistan's biggest child health care, children hospital Quetta is facing a host of problems including finances following tussle between the Balochistan government and the Board of Directors of CHQ.
The government of Balochistan is reported to have issued an inquiry order against the CHQ. The board on the other hand has accused Balochistan government of creating problems for the smooth and satisfactory working of the hospital, causing hardships for indoor and outdoor children patients.
The CHQ was set up by Pakistan and Federal Republic of Germany at a cost of over Rs 761 million in August 1998 on turnkey basis, under an agreement.
As per agreement with Germany an autonomous body was registered with Corporate Law Authority (CLA). As such a general body was formulated to run CHQ as non-profitable organisation for the treatment and cure of children diseases.
The financing share was 73 percent by Germany and 27 percent by the government of Balochistan. The CHQ board of directors accuses government of Balochistan of its failure in paying its share of Rs 6.125 million creating financial crisis for indoor and outdoor children patients.
Countering charges Balochistan government claims that everything would be clear after inquiry already instituted into the working of board of directors and the CHQ. Worst sufferers are the patients because of tug of war between CHQ board of directors and Balochistan government.
