Sir: Public Health Nursing School Attock is deprived of basic facilities, so much so that the institution does not have a principal for the last many months. The medical superintendent (MS) of District Headquarter Hospital (DHQ) Attock has been given the additional charge of the principal of the school. Being the MS of the hospital, he could not deliver his duty as the principal of a nursing school. It is imperative to appoint a lady principal permanently so that the students can feel comfortable to approach her to solve their day to day issues. Apparently, the school administration has failed to solve the problems and difficulties faced by the students. The students who had taken admission in Lady Health Visitor Course 2013-15, are cursing their fate why did they choose this school. The school’s staff is non-cooperative and keeps the students under stress without any reason. There are no proper arrangements of lights and fans in the school. Cleanliness does not exist. Insecticide spray in the school and hostel had never been carried out. There is no water filter installed in the school, due to which students often fall sick. The students are strictly banned from keeping mobiles and are compelled to contact their families through the school’s clerk’s mobile, who is not always cooperative. He allows only selected students to make phone calls. The students have asked for a PTCL line that could be installed on the gate of the hostel or in the visiting room where calls could be made under the supervision of female staff. The students request the chief minister Punjab to take serious notice of the situation and order the management of the school to improve things in the college. It is not that the school does not get funds for administrative purposes. The funds are siphoned off by the mafia operatives in the school. Unless these thugs are caught and punished, the school would remain a deck of corruption. SHAHZAD HUSSAIN BHATTI Islamabad
