Sindh Govt Announces Rs. 10 Lakh Compensation Per Victim for Lyari Building Collapse

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has introduced a strict new rule that bans doctors and nurses from using mobile phones while on duty in government hospitals. This means they are not allowed to make phone calls, scroll through social media, or record videos during their working hours.

The decision is aimed at improving the quality of healthcare services in public hospitals by ensuring that medical staff stay focused on their patients. Officials say that using mobile phones during duty hours causes unnecessary distractions and affects patient care. By enforcing this ban, the government hopes to bring more discipline to hospital environments and strengthen the overall healthcare system.

If any staff member is found breaking this rule, they could face serious consequences under the PEEDA Act. These punishments may include suspension from their job or even permanent dismissal, depending on the severity of the violation.

This step is part of a larger set of reforms introduced by the Punjab government to make hospitals more efficient and accountable. Many people have welcomed the move, saying it shows a strong commitment to putting patients first. However, some are also raising concerns about how medical staff will manage in case of emergencies if they are not allowed to use their phones.

Overall, the government believes that this decision will help build a more responsible and attentive healthcare system in Punjab.
