As many as 380 general cadre doctors of BPS-17 were promoted to BPS-18 through Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) of the Health Department, Government of Sindh. The ceremony was held on June 23, 2016 in Karachi. The notification for 297 of these doctors has still not been issued even after a lapse of eight months.The delay speaks volumes of the negligence and lethargy of the Sindh Health Department. The lack of the notification has caused the promoted doctors keep serving in their old capacity in the BPS-17.

A promoted doctor informed media, “We have been denied our basic right to promotion to next grades despite eligibility and fulfillment of all required formalities.” The same doctor further said that 83 Woman Medical Officers (WMOs) of BS-17, who were junior to them and were promoted with them to BS-18, their notification has been issued two months before but they are being unfairly treated for unknown malafide intentions and reasons.
According to the policy made by Dr Saeed Mangnejo, the then Health Secretary, those doctors who were recruited on regular basis in 2003 were promoted in January 2016 but despite this fact many doctors were not considered because they were born after 01.01.1965. Hence, the Health Department violated its own declared policy. The same affected doctor further said in light of this policy, one doctor having domicile of Naushehro Feroze was promoted to BS-18, having date of birth of 1968, which is a blunder.
He further said that even WMOs appointed through Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) in 2009 have been promoted to BS-18 which is a violation of standing service rules. The doctor further claimed that several doctors have crossed 50 years of age with 22 years of active government service, but they have not been promoted which can be termed inhuman. He further said that they are serving in remote and rural areas of Sindh without any other fringe benefits.
It is an established fact that doctors should be promoted after five years of first entry into government service, but in Sindh, they have to protest for obtaining their legal rights or they achieve the same through illegal means by paying huge amounts as bribe which shows that there is no writ of law. These affected doctors have demanded that justice be done to them and their seniority be determined with those doctors who were promoted to BS-18 and their notification was issued in January 2016 due to a large number of posts lying vacant in Sindh for BS-18 doctors. Doctors have also demanded issuance of promotion notification forthwith.
