HANGU: The patients have been facing difficulties in getting health facilities as 24 posts of specialist doctors and medical officers are lying vacant in the District Headquarters Hospital, Hangu.
Dr Sher Khan Afridi, Medical Superintendent of the DHQ, said on Tuesday that the hospital was facing shortage of five specialist doctors and five posts of the principal medical officers were lying vacant.
He added that the 14 seats of medical officers were also needed to be filled in the hospital.
