📰 PMA Attock in the News
The concerns of the medical community in Attock have been covered by Daily Hamara Wattan International (Lahore) and The Regional Times (Karachi). We thank the media for highlighting the issues facing private healthcare.
The Executive Body of Pakistan Medical Association Attock met under the chairmanship of President Col. Dr. Syed Sajjad Naqvi to discuss taxation, the proposed POS (Point of Sale) system and the challenges facing private healthcare providers. Following the closure of hospitals and clinics in Attock on 30 September 2026, the meeting made the following points:
✅ Private healthcare institutions are already under heavy taxes, expensive equipment and medicines, and staff salaries. Linking them with a POS system could increase treatment costs for patients.
✅ Patient privacy and confidentiality are a basic principle. Unnecessary interference can affect patients' trust.
✅ PMA Attock urges the Ministry of Finance, FBR and the relevant authorities to make a fair and workable policy for the private medical sector, and to consult representative medical organizations before making policy.
✅ PMA Attock demands early completion of the Medical College in Attock district, and proper representation of PMA in government and district health committees.
PMA Attock will keep raising its voice peacefully and lawfully for the doctors of Attock and for the patients who depend on them.
Thank you to all doctors and healthcare institutions for your support and unity. 💚
