Punjab government plans to end outsourced cleaning services at government teaching hospitals, citing poor sanitation and contractor performance issues. Cleaning at teaching hospitals has been outsourced for three decades since the start of Shehbaz Sharif’s first tenure as chief minister. Despite the outsourcing, officials say sanitation conditions remain unsatisfactory and some contractors allegedly failed to pay cleaning staff their full wages.
Consequently, the provincial government has decided to transfer the responsibility to solid waste management authorities. The Clean Punjab initiative has already launched a comprehensive sanitation and waste management plan for teaching hospitals. Once finalized, the new system is set to replace the current contractor-based cleaning arrangement.
