  "account": "Federal Health Minister Syed Mustafa Kamal has voiced his outrage at the state of private rooms at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), asserting that neglectful maintenance will no longer be accepted. While touring the PIMS Cardiac Centre in Islamabad on Friday, the minister examined various facilities, including the electrophysiology catheterization laboratory. He engaged in discussions with patients, sharing insights into the challenges they face and the services being administered to them. Upon entering the cardiac centre’s private rooms, Kamal's expression turned somber in response to the deteriorating condition. He questioned the upkeep crew's efforts, specifically highlighting a damaged wall, and expressed concern over the potential safety hazard it posed. Kamal declared that the issue wouldn't be allowed to linger for six months, insisting on immediate action. He addressed the PIMS executive director, Dr Salman, ordering daily oversight of repair operations. Kamal further threatened to dismiss anyone who fails to fulfill their responsibilities and emphasized the need for hiring competent, efficient personnel to replace less capable officials.",
